It's a hot, windy night in Los Angeles. The Santa Ana winds are blowing and the gusts carry the scent of smoke from distant brush fires. A bad night for running an errand, but the Speed-D-Mart probably carries what they need.

"Wow! No one does it like Laymon. Ten years after his death, still no one comes close. "
— Jim (5 out of 5 stars)
" I would get so aggravated at this woman! Lol. Fast paced horrible night "
— Laurie, 1/30/2014" This is a truly terrible book. Unreadable. Some of Laymon's writing is great, but this is straight up garbage. "
— DJMikeG, 1/21/2014" this one is either-or. Either you like it for its simplicity and action, or you become disgusted with apparent lack of motivation behind the protagonists' doings or undoings. I must've been in the mood to read it, so I liked it more than I didn't. Not boring for me, not boring at all. "
— Mentat, 1/15/2014" I can't even finish it. "
— Laura, 1/3/2014" I thought this was pretty good but it contains a lot of sexual assault. Looking at other people's reviews this is common with his books. I'm glad to see that someone else was also irritated that people in these books don't call the cops. I know it is to keep the story going but so annoying! "
— jody, 11/24/2013" Laymon never holds back on the guts and gore. If this was a movie I think I would have to cover my eyes many times. I don't highly recommend this book because of the graphic rape. It is true Laymon style. Fast and furious. "
— Lisa, 11/9/2013" Sometimes a book is so bad, the characters so shallow, combined with an idiotic plot that I just have to give up on it. This book exceeded all those requirements "
— Terry, 11/7/2013" Another excellent Laymon adventure :-) "
— Jaymeister, 11/1/2013" This is the first book I tried to read where I didn't like any of the characters. The characters were so unrealistic that it made the book seem very shallow. The suspense and shock factor could have been good if the characters were even a little bit believable. I did not finish this book. "
— Angie, 7/27/2012" Wow! No one does it like Laymon. Ten years after his death, still no one comes close. "
— Jim, 2/19/2012" Richard Laymon is one sick puppy! "
— Rustinajo, 2/17/2012" Heavy on the gore. Light on the action. "
— Alison, 5/24/2011" This is the first book I tried to read where I didn't like any of the characters. The characters were so unrealistic that it made the book seem very shallow. The suspense and shock factor could have been good if the characters were even a little bit believable. I did not finish this book. "
— Angie, 2/3/2010" This is a truly terrible book. Unreadable. Some of Laymon's writing is great, but this is straight up garbage. "
