"No one writes a better crime novel than Charles Willeford." -- Elmore Leonard<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A pitilessly hilarious dissection of the American male psyche.--<i>Chicago Tribune</i></b> <p/> Richard Hudson, an inveterate woman-chaser and gifted used car salesman, possesses a pimp's understanding of the ways in which women (and men) are most vulnerable -- and justifies his seductions with a highly perverse logic. By day, he works his crooked car lot with much success. By night, he returns home to a family of misfits: an adoring, ageless mother; her washed-up husband, an ex-film director who is twenty years her junior; and a curious teenage stepsister ripe for corruption. <p/> One day Richard is seized by a feeling of terror and revulsion; he realizes he's wasting his life in the meaningless pursuit of money. His only hope, he decides, is to abandon the used-car game and try his hand at something creative--an ambitious and risk-laden film project that will tie up in a single package his reason for existing. <p/> Richard completes his cherished project. But forces beyond his control swiftly reject and destroy it. As a result, the enraged and humiliated used-car salesman goes on a bender for the ages, drinking his way through the underbelly of Los Angeles and exacting a monstrous revenge on all who have crossed him. <p/><b>The most eloquently brainy and exacting pulp-fiction ever fabricated!--<i>Village Voice</i></b><br><b>No one writes a better crime novel than Charles Willeford.--Elmore Leonard</b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Charles Willeford</b> (1919-1988) was an American writer of fiction, poetry, autobiography, and literary criticism, He is best known for his series of novels featuring hardboiled detective Hoke Moseley.
