Lonto has to go up against the criminal underworld and, reluctantly, bad eggs in his own department.
As tough-minded as any crime novel I've read, not surprising when I learned that Johnson had written primarily from behind bars, serving long sentences for robbery and murder. Apparently his output from Stillwater Prison was short but explosive, so I will definitely be on the lookout for more of his work.
I got this surprisingly dark and tight outing from a mixed bundle of books and read it quickly on a camping trip.
