A well-paced look at the mind of a psychic cop. One who has seemingly, perhaps necessarily, become a bit bent. As the back story is told in prologue he and his partner are foretold that they will take on a teen-prostitute as a housemate who later becomes crucial to the survival of all of them. The story proper, begins 'seven years later' in the years after their cop-lives. They take on a scam together, which is nicely explored. And the aftermath. The complexity of the interplay between all the characters is seemingly made without moral inquiry. The story depicts the part-time loyalties, shallowness, self-centeredness, denials and presumptions of the nineteen-seventies. Chandler sanguinely touches on: When they act -- what were they thinking? And, each one's use of the people, who were: the friends-I-used-to-have. How isolated we are, really, from the people we think we know. I can modestly say that what you have in your hands is "A good read." Stephen J.Chandler
