The Shark-infested Custard (Canongate Crime Classics S.) - Softcover
Synopsis
Startlingly amoral and painfully funny, "The Shark-infested Custard" dissects the vacuous heart of early 1970s America, where having a good time and being one of the boys was always more important than mere life and death.
