Publisher's summary

Jeffty Kittredge is a small-time Hollywood con in deep debt to a shark with a need to collect. If he can just come up with a plan - or maybe even only a partner - Jefty is sure he’ll be on his way to salvation. What he comes up with instead is... Mona. The best-selling author of Everybody Smokes in Hell leads you to a place where desire has a body count, trust can take you down from point-blank range, and love is the biggest racket in town.

!this is a good one!

This is gritty, witty, geographically relevant and visually descriptive. It is a story that is worth the credit. It is well read and it really hooked me early and kept me listening and wanting more. For me it was a great introduction to the author!

Not very good

I found the dialogue and thought processes of the characters sexist and anachronistic and the depictions of both the male and female characters demeaning. I wish I hadn't bought this audiobook. It would have to be a whole lot funnier than it is to make up for the endless chronicling of lowlife behavior. Tomlinson in the Doc Ford novels is funny and kind of nuts. Jeffty is just a sad case.
