Welcome to Litsy!

Not my usual read. However I was entertained and educated. Based on truth , the authors note explains a lot.
Have passed on to step son as I think it‘s his kind of book.

@MrsMalaprop I‘m just onto book club read.

A gambling club shoot-out. A prostitute with her throat cut. No complex motives, nothing that Holmes and Watson would ever feel the need to light a pipe to ponder, ever appeared in the files that landed on Vasin‘s desk. No speckled band snakes, no phosphorescent hounds. Only thieves‘pathetic ideas of honor, profit, and survival.

Interesting start to a crime novel...
