Publisher's Summary

Con man Joe Berlin was used to scoring easy cash off of gullible women. But that was before he met Mona Brassard - and found himself holding a stolen stash of raw heroin. Now that Joe has fallen hard for Mona, he's got to pull off the most dangerous con of his career: one that will leave him either a killer - or a corpse.

Block's debut novel under his own name is a classic example of prime pulp fiction, with an ending that will astonish even the most jaded crime-fiction fan.

Gritty and dark

Great narration by Alan Solar: this story is gritty, sexy, funny and DARK. The ending fizzled a little but the meat is this is tasty stuff.
