"In 1930s Los Angeles, someone desperately wants to know who Danny Landon is. That someone is Danny Landon himself. His more intimate associates call him "Two Gun Danny," but all the young man really knows about himself is that some terrible incident has erased his memory. Danny's boss is a mobster named Bud Seitz, a vicious, sadistic killer who's been given the ironic nickname of "The Kind One." According to Seitz, Danny's amnesia is the result of being hit in the head with a lead pipe. But Danny's not sure of anything. How can he be a gangster when he doesn't feel like one? As Danny maneuvers through the corrupt sun-drenched city, he uncovers terrible secrets and finds himself on a mission to liberate those he cares about"--Publisher description.… (más)

This was a raw, stark read set in Hollywood of the 1930s amidst gangsters run by "the kind one". The main character, Danny, lost his memory but knows he had been one of the best shooters in the gang with the nickname"two gun Danny". He is an obvious favorite of the boss. For Danny, things don't measure up as he is horrified by the brutal lifestyle he is a part of. This book had great characters, a sad undertone and frequent bursts of violence. I found it a captivating but often difficult read. ( )

Terrific read set in 1930's Los Angeles. Danny Landon (known in the criminal underworld as "Two Gun Danny") has been recovering for the past year from an attack that has left him without any of his former memories. He's returned to work for mobster Bud Seitz, known ironically as "The Kind One". But Danny no longer seems to have the stomach for the violence and fear that the others seem to revel in. Bud assigns Danny to bodyguard his newest girlfriend Darla, but things get complicated when Danny develops feelings for her. Although there were scenes of extreme and graphic violence in this book it also contained a lot of heart, which brought to mind Charlie Huston's novels. This story had a great premise, a great setting, some great characters and fine writing with some nice twists in the plot. I enjoyed it a lot and thought it was unique. Four and a half stars. ( )
