Vietnam, Charlie Manson, Woodstock and a double homicide. Ketchum does crime and he does it well. Loaded with atmosphere and filled with highly fascinating characters. Especially the baddie of the bunch. Ray Pye. Short power. An explosive little fucker, just as vain as he is dangerous. Girls, drugs, detectives and a case that hasn't gone entirely cold; this baby's on fire right from the start and keeps burning all the way through. Ketchum hasn't disappointed me yet.

P.S.
Would have made an incredible Tarantino flick. Trunk shot opportunities aplenty!
