Rather than participating in raids on such places he now finds a kind of solace and escape in the final act, all the while allowing himself to blur fantasy and reality into a somewhat wakeful dream. The act ends too soon, and he finds himself once more roaming and seeking another diversion.
Kicked off the police force due to politics and a hot temper, Vince hasn't quite come to terms with unemployment. Through a series of flashbacks that portray his short-fused anger, we watch as Vince all but goes through the motions of living until he becomes a murder suspect, tied in with the same massage parlors he has been frequenting.
For a short while there is a fairly solid case building against him and he soon finds himself dodging not only the police but the real killer. Through a series of harrowing near-misses on his own life, Vince turns the tables and becomes the hunter leading to an explosive ending.
I was a little put off at first at the seemingly slow pace of the book, until I realized that I wasn't rereading passages, but catching glimpses of an ever enlarging flashback that haunts Vince. I'm glad I stuck with the book because once the bodies began to pile up, the action took a rollercoaster pause at the top of the track before edging downwards into a dizzying spiral of events.
Colin gives us real people with larger than life expectations. You feel their struggle to meld into a society that requires people to fit into ready made molds, and yet living in a gritty, dark and sometimes grisly world where rules are made to be broken. Definitely not for the faint of heart as there are some graphic scenes involved.
I only wish it wasn't so difficult to find copies of his books.… (mais)
