From the Back Cover
The first thing Emil Jaddick shoved through the country-club door was double barreled and loaded. The First thing he said to the poker players inside was - "Do I have your attention? We're robbin' you assholes ... any objections?" That's how Jadick came to St.Bruno. He had a killing crew of fellow ex-con wingmen and a sweet and red-hot sex machine named Wanda to help him do his down and dirty work. He had big plans and no pity. Only one thing could stop him - a cop who played by the same rules as Jadick ... None!
'The luxurious meander of Woodrell's prose is both beguiling and menacing.' Nick Kimberley, The Guardian
'Flamboyantly brutal dialogue catches the speed of lives lived at the rate of criminal tempo. Definately lives up to his rep.' I-D
'The colouful characters and the piquant tongues in which they speak really have us swooning ... all offer hot-breathed testimony to the human gumbo that boils in St.Bruno.' New York Times Book Review
'Woodrell is on teh cutting edge of mean ... a born writer. His style is both brutal and touched with poetry. And it's very much his own. Don't miss it.' Philadelphia Inquirer
'Faulknerian relationships, ripe dialogue and a dark, dim view of human nature ... as mean and dirty as they come.' Kirkus Reviews
'Daniel Woodrell is stone brilliant ... a bayou Dutch Leonard steeped in rich Louisiana language.' James Ellroy
