Flicking the Bic

Whew. This book took what Vern Smith's "Scratching The Flint" did at kicked it up 100 notches. A bonafide prequel to his book and to Tia Ja'nae's "Ghosts On The Block Never Sleep", this book tells the story of Jean-Max Renaldo's early days through a journal he left behind after his untimely death in Smith's book. You don't need to read Smith's book to jump in with this one, and trust me it's all types of 1970s dirt, grime, crime, thriller, erotica all in one. The author did not disappoint us fans of "Ghosts On The Block Never Sleep" either, as this is the closest return of Hambone we will get.
