Narcoleptic Hooker
Everyone wanted to know how a prostitute with narcolepsy eradicated crime in Las Vegas. Now the ambassador of this crimeless city in 2054, Penelope Fortunata tells the story of the life she led when her mob affiliations ran deep. There is always a beginning and this is hers. "Welcome to the Vegas Strip. Never has the line between getting whacked and getting whacked off been so thin. This is the kind of book people hide from their spouses and parents. This is the kind of book that your closest friend will want to clear from your home, along with your vibrator and porn, before anyone else comes to liquidate your estate when you kick the bucket unexpectedly. This book is a dangerous addiction that you will not be able to tear yourself away from, teeming with corruption and sex in the City of Sin where one must embrace the gritty elegance of organized crime. It is filled with characters who are far more interesting than anyone you know and dirtier than any of them will ever admit to being. Just two things you should don't judge a hooker, and there is no safe word. You have been warned."

The characters in this book are very well developed, so much so they scream from the pages to be resurrected and sequelled. Yes, some of the “language” is over the top but the story is solid and compelling and keeps those pages turning. I know that with the right touch this unpolished Gem could easily outshine most anything out there today. Great read and I look forward to future books from this author.

It's an interesting idea: a narcoleptic hooker. The background of the author of the book and how she came to write it did not exactly thrill me. It was an easy read. I didn't care for the writing style. However, I stuck with it and finished it. It's OK for an "ëscape"novel. However, I like Henning Mankell and Alan Furst and the literary quality was absent. There were some entertaining moments. Overall, read it on a plane, train or bus.
