A very good novel of drug addiction with some very unexpected twists and turns. And the most disturbing, depressing, and heartbreaking ending since "Nightmare Alley." This book haunted with me for a long time.
Slaone Britain is very good at creating well drawn, individual characters. Even minor characters have a life of their own. Which is one of the things that makes the ending so heartbreaking.
Rather than give a synopsis, I'll just say the novel is about one woman's descent into heroin addiction, her climb back out, and a very bizarre love triangle.
Copies are rare and expensive, but if you like this sort of thing, this is one of the best pulp novels out there. ( )
