But now she is fresh from a stretch in the slammer, and under the unblinking eyes of her parole officer, she is trying to make a good show of going straight. This dubious goal leads her straight to the wild and mysterious Club Instanbul, which is about as straight as Reno can get. — Thus... more » is set in motion a wired tale of murder, passion, and betrayal. Sin Soracco takes you into a netherworld maelstrom of drugs, sex, bi-sex, and tri-sex, endless scuffle and infinite hustle, where only the most savvy and savage survivors stay afloat.
It is a world peopled by female and male exotic dancers who strip everything but their souls, a bartender who drinks only when the dope runs out, and a club owner who is hard and handsome - a mysterious man of culture and corruption, at once the predator and prey of those who will do anything for very little. And at the center is Reno herself, looking for the next good score, the next good sex, taking the next grisly risk for a next-to-nothing reward.
Here is a streetwise seduction of a novel from a writer who combines the knowing noir of Jim Thompson with a sexy swagger that's all her own. Unflinching in its gritty realism, biting in its bitter humor, razor-edged at every twist, turn and shock, EDGE CITY delivers the goods.« less
