| Summary: |
"Dowdy Lewis, Jr., deals in rare books, alcohol, memories of Vietnam and delusions of peace. Now Dowdy is dealing in something else. Call it murder. Call it heroin. Call it love. Yvonna Lablaine walked into his life with .45 caliber lips and more charm than the law allows, the blackest sheep in a very rich family. The next time Dowdy saw her she was standing at his door, dying. In between Dowdy had made love to her in Topanga Canyon, posted bond for her, and had taken on a bar full of low-life drug dealers to find out where she went. Now he's putting together the pieces behind Yvonna's death. The picture isn't pretty: it's about mobsters, Hollywood moguls, and the price of flesh and blood. Then again, Dowdy Lewis is not a pretty guy. He's a man with a broken heart, looking for vengeance, who's about to have... a gypsy good time." --Back cover. |
