John Glover won a Tony Award for his performance in Love! Valour! Compassion!, and reprised that role for the film. He has previously read Apaches and Carriers for Random House AudioBooks.
After retaliating against a drug lord, savvy, street-tough Val Duran flees to Hollywood. Meanwhile, an L.A. playboy beds a gorgeous redhead and wakes up with a psychopath trying to kill him. Neither Val nor Kilo know it yet, but they are on a collision course with a sexy marine biologist and one lethally dysfunctional family in this "dark, comic tour de force" (James Ellroy).
What is distinctive about Mr. Ferrigno's gripping prose is that as usual it is...set in a natural world whose appeal he makes the reader vividly feel....Is this a world, then, where every prospect pleases, and only man is vile? Hardly....When Mr. Ferrigno is done, most of his characters are empty bags of skin, drifting off in the ether. Yet the reader is altogether entertained.
