Parker and Ross MacDonald."Tough, taut and terse... literate without being lofty, not unlike the work of Hammett himself." The Thrilling DetectiveKorean War vet and ex-reporter Peter Bragg is hired by Armando Barker, a retired mobster, to find out who is targeting him and his eleven-year-old daughter with death threats. But after a gruesome killing of someone close to Barker, the threats become a bloody promise.

So that's where Bragg goes, walking right into the vicious, bloody war that's raging between the town's factions...and becoming everyone's target."First-rate, well-plotted.
