This thriller caught my interest from the beginning, perhaps because it took me around San Pedro, California, which I remember fondly.  It contained all the expected elements -- goriness, sex, a bit of social exposure and more.I must say that I felt attached to the main character, Frank, in spite of his criminal mind.  For some reason I came to think of him as a criminal with as much geniality as bad luck.I also appreciated the author's concern about the hostilities between Whites, Blacks and Hispanics, especially the poor of the kind.  Though I perceived them portrayed as rather dumb, it was realistic enough.Nevertheless, I did have trouble following the thread of some characters due to the similarity of their names -- Kirk and Hicks.  But this is my fault, not the author's.I also wonder why, during the reading, I suddenly felt the need to wear a "camelhair coat".
