Publication: Soho, 1999, New York
First edition. Fine in dust jacket. Author's first book. Harry Starks, the Torture Gang boss, has a winning personality, a sharp mind, and some very nasty tendencies. Harry's criminal career is narrated by five different individuals ... a rent boy, a small-time actress, a Lord, and academic, and crooked policeman Mooney. Each of the five episodes centers around one of Harry's illegal activities, with the narrators as bystanders who let themselves get suckered into Harry's complicated plots. Highly touted by James Crumley.
