[Stephen Theaker · Rating 4 out of 5]

After some business that I didn't really understand by the river, a racist hires Miss and Slim to perform a hit on a man on a golf course. Then the KKK show up and Miss chooses that moment to show her affection for Slim. Like many stories with evil people as their protagonists, this book comes into its own when the people Miss and Slim tangle with are even worse than they are. You can never root for them, but you can appreciate the way they deal with dangerous situations and terrible people.

Die Abgründe werden schlimmer, die Beziehungen tiefer, das Gesellschaftbild deutlicher - absolutes Highlight, nicht nur der Mini-Serie.

Not particularly fond of the artwork, but it is a good crime story.
