This is what pulp fiction is all about. For a depiction of the tawdry side of Tinseltown, only Horace McCoy's "I Should Have Stayed Home" compares in its characterization of hopeless hopefuls lurking on the fringes of glamor. Of special note is the sadistic psycho-cop, Ed Cornell. Fisher based him on the most famous pulpster of them all, Cornell Woolrich - who specialized in brutal minions of the law himself. Having worked in Hollywood as a screenwriter for years, Fisher gives his opportunistic characters an aura of authenticity. (There is a director very reminiscent of Roger Corman, for instance.)Fisher keeps up a cracking pace which doesn't afford the reader a chance to glance back in the rearview mirror; plausibility is left in the dust like roadkill and you never miss it. Highly recommended.
