Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a fast-paced, powerful noir novella about Ishmael Toffee, a contract killer who one decides he's had enough of the grisly trade and takes up gardening. After he's paroled, he gets hired by a rich white man who does bad things to his six-year-old daughter Cindy. Ishmael takes angry exception to that injustice, and things unravel in blood fashion from there. The vivid gritty descriptions add to the novella's considerable appeal.
