Noir fiction at its best with a plot that puts Watts as a force to be reckoned with in the hard-boiled end of the crime writing business. Slick and sexy' - New York Times Book Review 'Fans of Jim Thompson take note: Watts has penned a noir novel of greed, graft, and lust filled with kinky, doublecrossing sleazeballs. A diverting, gritty caper peopled by delightfully detestable creatures' - Kirkus Review'
Mr. Watts, I think you're an exceptional writer...This book is incredible. I would love to get an option on it or on "Cons," but the last time I checked...someone already had an option. I've made several films(shorts) one 33 minutes long--The Death Pages, won 1997 Worldfest Charleston and I acted/produced another for approx. $200K (not my money,of course). I called your agent Innovative Artists and they always tell me "Cons" is taken...maybe their option will run out one day and you'll give me a shot. I love your work and I can't wait to see what you do next. Maybe it'll be a film with me.
Even better than Cons!

Went out and got my copy (like I said in my Cons review) and finished it in two days! What great follow-up. This book moves from start to finish and the characters keep you hooked. You feel like you are along for the ride. This would make a great movie (along the lines of Pulp Fiction).
Excellent noir - read it!
