Former marine and ex-con Jimmy Boone is tending bar on Hollywood Boulevard, keeping his nose clean until he figures out his next move. But when he agrees to back up a buddy and look into a young man's mysterious death, he is soon neck-deep in trouble again.

THIS WICKED WORLD is a knock-out blend of superb writing and straight-to-the-gut storytelling that grabs you by the collar and makes it impossible to stop reading.

I loved this book. It was hard to put down after reading 16 chapters.
Very compelling view of the streets of LA. Funny, and tough with every detail.
This book was not a let down. Much better than his "Dead Boys," novel.
Gritty, and fast moving, this book won't be easy to put down.
