<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A recovering alcoholic with a bad attitude and a mean streak, down-and-out ex-private investigator J. D. Fiorella, moving back home to Point Doom, California, gets back in the game when his only friend is brutally murdered by a serial killer with an axe to grind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From Dan Fante, the son of novelist John Fante, comes a gritty detective novel featuring JD Fiorella, an ex-private investigator who's bent on avenging his friend's murder.</p><p>Failed private investigator JD Fiorella was a pro at finding trouble. Mixing it up with the wrong people in New York, he escaped to L.A.--only to hit rock-bottom after too many nightmares and too much booze.</p><p>Now forty-six and sober, JD is working hard to get it together. Living in Malibu at his mother's house in Point Dume, he's got a new job selling used cars with his friend Woody and a new girlfriend. But just as things are looking up, JD discovers a gruesome murder. Now the ex-private detective has to make a choice.</p><p>Determined to exact vengeance, he follows a twisting trail of clues that leads him to unexpected truths about himself and his new life--and to a psychopathic killer with an eerie connection to his past. And, as JD soon learns, this time there's no easy way out.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Told in a free-flowing narrative style that features a number of memorable characters, Fante's novel is dark, bleak, gritty, and inventively vulgar. It's also honest, painful, and occasionally tender."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>Praise for Dan Fante: "This writer has the telemarketer's skill for keeping the mooch on the line: readers who don't hang up right away very likely won't be able to stop listening."--<em>New York Times</em><br><br>"A powerful read from a writer who's lived what he writes and writes what he lived, 86'd stands out as yet another example of Fante's unique voice and bottoms-up, scraped-off-the-sidewalk prose."--Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight<br>
