The gritty, hard-edged novel of sex, crime, and corruption in 1970s
Atlanta...and the man who is paid to hide it all... by Ralph
Dennis, author of the legendary Hardman series of detective
novels.Vince Gorman is a ruthless lawyer with flexible morality who
makes problems go away for David Wardlaw, an Atlanta real estate
developer and the owner of the city's pro basketball team. Wardlaw
doesn't care how Vince fixes things...as long as it gets done. But
now Vince is in over his head... covering up a possibly fatal
hit-and-run by the team's hard-partying star shooter... and
competing with Wardlaw's rivals to bribe, blackmail and intimidate
the corrupt politicians who award the city's rich construction
contracts...all while desperately scrambling to keep his own life
of dark secrets, relentless womanizing, and soul-rotting
compromises from crashing down around him. This is an edited and
revised version of a book previously published in 1975 under the
title Atlanta. Praise for Ralph Dennis: "Ralph Dennis has mastered
the genre and supplied top entertainment." New York Times"His prose
is muscular, swift and highly readable. " Joe R. Lansdale, author
of the Hap & Leonard novels, the basis for the hit TV
series."Exceptional characterization, strong and vigorous prose,
and a glimpse into a place and time that has long since
disappeared." Mystery Scene Magazine"An underappreciated master."
Robert J. Randisi, founder of the Private Eye Writers of
America."Straight-up, hardboiled crime fiction, written in a tight,
evocative voice with a wicked, dark sense of humor." Lee Goldberg,

Hills.
