Synopsis
Ruxton Street is like a big snake. Everyone it touches, it swallows. It even looks like a snake. It’s always wet with saliva and phlegm and urine and spilled wine and whisky and homemade powerhouse. There is always dirty water in the gutters. Many times Lawrence tries to get away from it, but something always pulls him back. Back to his wife and her drunken family. Back to Hagen…
Bully that he is, Hagen rules the Street. He rules it with his fists—and Pancho’s knife. Lawrence has always steered clear of Hagen, refusing to get involved. He lets the Street be the Street, turns his back on Hagen’s crimes. But when Hagen rapes and kidnaps the Chinese girl, something shifts in him. Hagen takes him aside, tries to figure if he can still trust Lawrence. He’s lived on the Street so long, even Lawrence doesn’t know the answer to that one.

About the Author
David Loeb Goodis was born March 2, 1917, in Philadelphia. After working for an advertising agency, he published his first novel, Retreat from Oblivion, in 1939. He then moved to New York City where he wrote for the pulps, sometimes turning out 10,000 words a day. By 1942, Goodis relocated to Hollywood, where he began scripting radio adventure serials. After the success of his novel Dark Passage and its subsequent filming with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, he signed a six-year contract with Warner Bros. Discouraged by the experience, Goodis returned to Philadelphia in 1950, living with his parents and prowling the seedier streets at night. Here he wrote his only solely authored screenplay—for The Burglar—and the majority of his paperback original noir classics. Goodis died at age 49 in Philadelphia on January 7, 1967, from a cerebral vascular accident caused in part by a previous beating he received while resisting a robbery.
