Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Hart wasn't built for this kind of life, the penny-ante stick-up jobs, the strongarm mug stuff. Hart was an artist, the real thing. At least he was once. Now he was a wreck, a bum, a tramp nobody cared about. He'd owned a yacht, traveled the globe, had a woman, a good woman who'd cared for him. What was he doing hanging out with a gang of thieves, a bunch of scum he'd have never sneezed at in the past? Well, he was one of them now, and had to get used to it. Unless he could figure out a way to score big on his own.

Review:

"David Goodis is the mystery man of hard-boiled fiction...the poet of the losers." Geoffrey O'Brien, Mystery Scene

Review:

"Goodis's characters are not just hard-boiled, they're pickled and then deep frozen...bad-dream Bogarts on the far edge of existence....A strange world where...there are only two kinds of people, the wounded and the slain." Mike Wallington

Synopsis:

He had no idea where he was going and he didn't care. She was dead and nothing he could do would bring her back. But what if...?
