Winner of the John Creasey New Blood Dagger for Best Debut Crime
Novel of 2018. Lola stands next to Garcia while he mans the grill
in their craggy square of backyard. The barbeque has just begun,
and the women are clustered gossiping, while the men hold sweating
beers. Lola prefers the periphery. Business has been good lately in
their tiny nugget of South Central Los Angeles, where a legit man
has two choices: landscaping off-the-books for West Side white
cash, or sweating through twelve-hour shifts at a factory in
Vernon. Garcia does not make his living either way. If Lola were
like the other women at her barbeque, she would spend her work day
perched on a padded stool behind a dollar-store cash register. But
Lola is not like the other women in Huntington Park. Suddenly: a
sharp knock on the front door, probably a cop. Lola goes to answer
it. The man standing there is Mexican, not Mexican-American, like
everybody else here. Lola searches his face for a bead of sweat but
comes up empty. She has never met him, but she knows his name.
Everyone in this neighbourhood knows his name. They call him The
Collector, and he won't give them long. To read what happens next,
check out the thrilling sequel American Heroin.
