Synopsis
Fast One is possibly the toughest tough-guy and most brutal gangster story ever written. Set in Depression Los Angeles it has a surreal quality that is positively hypnotic. It is the saga of gunman-gambler Gerry Kells and his dipsomaniacal lover S. Grandquist (she has no first name), who rearrange the Los Angeles underworld and 'disappear' in an explosive climax that matches their first appearance. The pace is incredible and relentless and the complex plot with its twists and turns defies summary.
Paul Cain is the pseudonym for George Sims (1902-1966). This is his only novel and was first published by Doubleday in 1933 after being serialised in 'Black mask' magazine the previous year.
