Review
"... stylistically lean and hungry, shrewd in observation, full of brittle dialogue and dry wit... This is a book with afterburn." -- Chicago Tribune
"A searing, startling and honest piece of work." -- Boston Globe
"Frederick Barthelme is doing for the '80s what Raymond Chandler did for the '30s." -- Baltimore Sun
