Charles Perry's only novel is a riveting tale of compulsion and murder, set in the world of Brooklyn gangsters and juvenile delinquents. Caught in a whirlpool of street crime and Oedipal passion, the narrator Harold Odom is driven by circumstances into acts of self-destruction and twisted sexuality.

Exceptional writing. Feels like the idea for Fight Club might have come from it. Couldn't put it down and wish the author had lived longer so that he could have written more. It is a hidden gem.
