One group of violent felons... One innocent child... One violent death film... One extremely violent detective... All coming together in a city ready to erupt in a relentless summer's heat. There is only one possible result - bullets fly furiously, blood pours copiously and bodies tumble lifelessly. Detective Reid Hollow becomes a hunter in a sea of human scum, acting as lawlessly and more aggressively than the criminals he stalks through alleys, warehouses and cheap hotels. Fueled by an obsession with death and the mental scars of a life of violence Hollow takes this case personally and will stop at nothing to destroy the people who murdered this poor child for their own debased pleasures. Not for readers under 18 years of age, this book takes the noir genre and grinds it mercilessly into a new direction: HARD CORE NOIR. This is a raw, sweaty fistful of a crime story, filled with contemptible creeps and believable, nasty action. Reid Hollow is a relentless, violent and lawless character... and he's the "good guy " This gory noir would have scared all of the other books out of the wire rack in a 1930s smoke shop.
