Book by Slaughter, Guy
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The protagonist of Slaughter's latest is discombobulated by his brother's death at the hand of police. Charley Harding doesn't fault the cops, though: he blames the dealers who furnished drugs to his heroin-addicted teenaged brother. In this credibility-stretching plot, Charley vows revenge, bluffs his way into meeting pushers, persuades a sympathetic narc to help him, and escapes death several times through luck and/or intuition. Scenarios and characters straight out of 1930s gangster movies provide unintentional chuckles in an otherwise humorless narratives. Hokey plot, then, and shallow characters; not recommended.
