Providing insight on homelessness, political corruption, and the
potential effects of gentrification, this urban noir tells the
tough story of Magrady, a semi-homeless Vietnam veteran in Los
Angeles. As he searches for a friend who has gone missing from Skid
Row and who may be involved in a dangerous scheme, Magrady must
deal with take-no-prisoners community organizers, an unflinching
cop from his past, frequent flashbacks of war, an elderly sexpot,
the drug culture, and the perils of chili cheese fries at midnight.
A rollicking interview with the author wherein he discusses ghetto
literature, politics, noir and the proletariat, and the unknown
future of books, is also included.
