In a departure from his excellent Joe Pitt vampire novels,
this stand-alone thriller packs a punch with dark humor,
gritty violence and bizarre, foul-mouthed characters.
Former LA school teacher Web Goodhue was traumatized by a
terrible incident with a bus full of his young students.
Now, he's without a job and mooching off his best friend
while he tries not to deal with his horrific past. When an
acquaintance offers Web a job as a crime scene cleaner, he
figures why not, what's the worst that could happen? He
soon finds out when he gets into tons more drama and death
than he ever imagined -- but he finds he loves the work and
doesn't want to give it up! I just finished reading this
book and could not put it down, even with all the really
rank (yet realistic) language that's used by all the
characters involved. For fans of hard-boiled crime fiction,
this is a must-read.
Webster Filmore Goodhue has found temporary work as one of
the mop-up crew for the L.A. county crime division. In
other words, he cleans up grisly crime scenes for the
cops. But when the daughter of a recent Malibu suicide
asks for his help to clean up after her brother got in a
little trouble, every cell in Webs brain is telling him to
turn it down.
