This is Scott Phillips' first effort, and thoroughly enjoyable if you like noir crime novels and can handle a little gratuitous sex.

I bought the book after seeing the movie based on it, which starred Billy Bob Thornton. Watch it if you get a chance.

I gave the book to a friend who enjoys the off-beat as much as I do, but had to retrieve it a year later when I started the author's second book "The Walkback", which is a sequel that mostly takes place ten years later. I ended up having to re-read "Ice Harvest" before I could understand the second book - an indication that neither book is deathless prose, but the first book is definitely entertaining pastime reading.
