Unlike the rancid first entry in the series, this novel has the gore, action, and bizarre sex scenes without the casually horrific hatred of women. In fact, the main sexual interest of our hero is quite a match for him. The title is right - the book depicts Southern California as a maniacal, awful place soaking in porn and sexual assault, which lets us tag along for the brutality Hunter dishes out without worrying too much about it. We even would have accepted a little more.of a conscience, I suspect. But we will never know.
