Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Big Nowhere is the story of three men caught in a massive web of ambition, perversion, and deceit. Danny Upshaw is a Sheriff's deputy stuck with a bunch of snuffs nobody cares about; but they're his chance to make his name as a cop. Mal Considine is in the D.A.'s office, climbing on the red scare bandwagon to advance his career and gain custody of his adopted son. And Buzz Meeks — bagman, ex-Narco goon, and pimp for Howard Hughes — is fighting communism for the money. All three have purchased tickets to a nightmare. Review:"At once taut and densely detailed, this is a mystery with the grim, inexorable pull of a film noir, shot through with a strictly modern dose of extreme (though not gratuitous) brutality and a very sure sense of history and characterization."
