If you like money,sex and the mob with some very twisted writing you will love this suspensful book.

Interesting plot. A good read.

First half is page turning, but slows after that.

This book follows a woman who was in prison after being busted in mob activities, but then is suddenly spring (arranged by the mob) because they want the money she supposedly took from them. She meets a Vietnam vet who had been a POW during that war and they join forces. This book is very graphic with sex and violence, the plot is great, but the ending is very polarizing - you either hate it or you love it.
