Dirty Work. Dirty Money. Dirty Lives. Dirty Times. Dirty Lies. Dirty City.

Sy Mooney is not a cop, anymore. Now, he does dirty work for cash. His latest job: finding the hooker blackmailing a rich maniac. Sy's prospects are not so good. But he is used to trouble. He has a .38 pistol, a crowbar, and two-hundred sixty pounds of bad attitude. He will need every weapon in his arsenal to get out of this with his dirty carcass intact.

Thrill master C. C. Blake spins a brutal yarn about bad guys and badder ones. While it echoes Raymond Chandler and James Ellroy, "Dirty" is a hardboiled nightmare only Blake could spin.
