An awesome modern-day pulp novel! The action is non-stop since this book clocks in under 200 pages. I loved the point of view coming from women and the classy dames being the ones who REALLY knew how to run things. Abbott stuffs each page with sexy-but-smart women, greasy bookies and the classic underground types and prose that makes you shiver and pull the collar up on your trenchcoat. If you love your movies and books pulpy and as dark as noir (a cup of joe that black also goes great with this book), this is for you.
