Abe was just
“another homeboy giving blowj#bs to rich guys.” Such a strange segue into the
story: two guys were practically going at it. Eek…
Detective
Eddie Ramos went to the coroner, where the mangled body homeless man stretched
across on a slab. Again, eek…
The writing
was vivid, raw, and powerful, enriched with dark humor and clever wit. Although
complex and perhaps laden with a few too many characters, the plot was murky
and scintillating. It follows the classic crime-fighting noir pattern, except
this one carries a smart-mouth Latino cop. The details might’ve been a little
too gritty for my taste, but I liked the tone and the way the author carries
the story.
A pretty
good read.
My rating: 3 stars
