“The Naked and the Deadly,” is a classic noir detective story, with private investigator Ed London dealing with treacherous women and lying clients. A blend of suspense, a puzzle and an appropriately cynical first-person narrative voice.
"The dolls, dames, molls etc. are all drop dead gorgeous and obviously duplicitous whilst the men drink and smoke with every second breath, they all live a crooked life and they're all looking for advantage over everyone else. Tawdry and sensational, these story explores the intersection of sex and violence."
"Not a story for the faint of heart or easily offended, but if you like some old fashioned pulp crime fiction, sex and violence, this is a story for you. More fun than a high-speed police chase following a bank job gone bad."
