A fascinating fictional (in some cases historically so) take on Baltimore's seedy Block and its swinging times in the 50s. Many hardened Baltimore historians will quickly identify the fictional characters with their real life inspirations (Julius "The Lord" Salsbury, Blaze Starr and Thomas D'Alessandro immediately spring to mind). It's obvious that Litwin and Silverman put a lot of research into this. A great read for any local or anyone interested in a mystery story.
