By Richard Cahill

Product Description:

A stylish crime thriller, replete with tough talk, razor-sharp humor, one-of-a-kind characters and a plot that twists savagely through the fleshpots of Southern California.

Summary: EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT

Rating: 5

I just got done reading John Grisham's new book which is a complete piece of crap and wonder why people are reading this book instead of Rich Cahill's new book. Obviously, Cahill needs to spend more time on the day time circuit of talk shows, because this is really a great story with enough turns and suspense to keep you occupied and enough of an unique sytle and commentary on life to keep you intrigued. We need to see more from this author and better PR from his publisher!

Summary: Might Have To Rethink Apathy Toward Crime Fiction

Rating: 5

Not being generally a fan of the crime fiction genre, it was only at the suggestion of a friend that I gave a spin. What I found was a fast-moving story; gripping, caustic, drop dead funny and compelling enough to grab undivided attention away from a busy schedule. Speed McKeon is not a sympathetic or likeable hero. He is world-weary, alcoholic and a truly damaged romantic, representing unsavory characters, and drawing the ire of his associates in the "respectable" arms of the legal industry by what they perceive is a barely concealed disdain for the traditions, dues and rituals of their privleged field. But he has a altruistic bent, fancying himself a champion of the underdogs of the world of sleaze, and an almost chivalric sense of code toward his newest client. This tendency toward a righting of quirky wrongs has earned him the lifelong loyalty of friends with special and diverse talents and connections, and Richard Cahill deftly shows that Speed knows precisely how to cultivate these resources at just the left moments. Speed is not infallible, and his weaknesses and struggles, with family, with career, with judgment, provide an appealing depth to his character that keep the reader engaged until the end. Populating this tale is an ensemble of unusual support players from various walks of life that leave a lasting impression throughout. Cahill demonstrates that he indeed has an idea of the kinds of pressure strippers and porn peddlers are under and writes with a rare empathy toward these subjects. This reader almost wished Speed would wind up the left of a happy ending befitting a true romantic, but that would perhaps take away a bit of the glorious tarnish underlying his adventure. Maybe he will get there in the sequel?

Summary: Edgy, witty, and insightful

Rating: 5

In '' Richard Cahill tells a story of murder, incest, greed and power. Cahill takes us for a walk on the wild side of San Diego, California in much the same way that Raymond Chandler led us through the mean streets of Los Angeles. His characters are disenfranchised losers who live in the shadows and dark corners where the California sunshine doesn't dare go. The hard boiled dialogue is clever, gritty and darkly humorous.

This is an impressive first novel. I stayed up late into the night turning the pages. If you're a fan of suspenseful hard-boiled pulp fiction by authors like Raymond Chandler, Dasheill Hammett and John D. McDonald, you'll enjoy this book.

Summary: Over the Top

Rating: 5

is a classic walk down mean streets, full of gritty detail and dark alley dialogue. Speed, the central character is not only a lawyer who hates lawyers; he also detest cops, judges, his client list and sometimes himself as well. Stuck with a client whom no one else wants to defend, he has to break out of his comfort zone of defending pimps and girlie joints and reenter the field of criminal law where he finds that his opponents there make his sleazeball clients look like saints.

Summary: The Damaged Romantic

Rating: 5

"Speed" McKeon is one of the band of damaged romantics that we meet in detective fiction these days. He's a gentile cousin of William Lashner's Victor Carl inFalls the Shadow A bounder and a drunk with lousy taste in booze, Speed specializes in the defense of folks in the sex trade-hookers, dancers, pimps and porn shop owners. But he has a bad side too: He's got ethics problems with the local bar association and a toxic relationship with his ex-wife and (almost) ex-son.

The action gets hot when speed takes the court-appointed lawyering job for Angle Pissaro, a sex-worker who's accused of killing her lover, Evie. In a series of tiny ticks and turns, the case which is air-tight leads to a set of new conclusions that are so horrific that they make everything around it seem downright wholesome.

The conclusion is in the style of an Inspector Montalbano The Shape of Water (Inspector Montalbano, Book 1)mystery: witty, shocking, brilliantly crafted and stomach-turning. I hope that, by the time I recover from reading it, there'll be another one.
