Strangers by Bill Pronzini

Well, this was more depressing than usual. Nameless is hired by a former girlfriend to clear her son of the charge of raping three women. They live in a tiny, rather horrible--ok, Godforsaken--town in Nevada and of course Nameless ends up being shot at but uncovers the reason the son was being framed. But it's not just the town that's Godforsaken; the people in the town are generally in the same condition. Gawd, this ended in a way that is practically wrist-slitting.
