Kip and Marty, two PI's track leads on the criminal behavior of
Dock, a felon who directs a homeless shelter. Dock hates snitches
and rats, yet becomes one to try to save his own skin. When it
doesn't work, the mob kills him, and Kip replaces him as the
director. There's a curious bond between them-- the ex-cop and the
murderer. This is a book about good guys and bad guys. The big
difference is, in this book the good guys are not perfect; there
are no hearts of gold and only honorable intentions. The bad guys
too, turn out not to be all that bad. They have a caring, even
loving side. And the scruffy, smelly, distasteful street people
turn out to be ... decent. Real human beings in painful situations.
More concerned with the well-being of their companions than many a
"normal" family could honestly claim. While the plot deals with
theft, murder, scandal and the seamy side of life in the
underclass, it also is a fascinating study of human nature.
