This new entry to Hard Case Crime by Lawrence Block moves quickly. There's already been a bit of sex, two hits called out, and a crooked ex-cop. The writing is fairly graphic. It's more so than the other Block novels I've read. Tho' he did cut his chops writing for skin mags in the '50s and '60s. Stephen King was doing the same when he sold Carrie. The dialogue is terse, cut, and right to the point.
