Book Reviews of The Big Nowhere

Book Review: Stark, Brutal, Tender And Powerful...
Summary: 5 Stars

"Los Angeles, 1950.
Red crosscurrents and a string of brutal killings.
Three men caught up in a massive web of ambition, perversion and deceit.

The characters:
Danny Upshaw - a sheffiff's deputy stuck with a bunch of snuffs that nobody cares about.
Mal Considine - D.A.'s office brass, climbing on the Red scare bandwagon to advance his own career.
Buzz Meeks - bagman, ex goon and pimp for Howard Hughes, a man who fights communism for the money.

All three have purchased tickets to a nightmare worse than their darkest dreams.

"STARK, BRUTAL, TENDER AND POWERFUL...a remarkably vivid portrait of a remarkable time and place." - (Publisher's Source)
