This is a really fast read, with a very surprising ending. Based in 1950’s New York it is the story of a woman who has kicked her drug habit, and a story of a woman who escapes into the sleazy underbelly of the drug world. Given a chance for redemption, she decides to try to find the girl before she is lost to dope. It has a very noir-ish feel to it, and goes really quickly. If you’re looking for a quick-paced and interesting read, this is a good choice.
