"In the time-worn private detective genre, Steve Oliver has come up with an original. In private eye Scott Moody, he has crated a unique hero who is part Philip Marlowe and part Travis Bickle. Moody drives the mean streets and upholds the noble traditions of the shamus with sharp wit, moral consciousness and--most of all--strong character."
