“A Bullet for Satisfaction” is a hard-boiled crime story in which disgraced ex-cop Rod Dexter goes on a relentless, personal crusade to uncover the truth behind a politician’s murder and the web of syndicate corruption that cost him his badge and his life in uniform.

Set in a seedy town of crooked officials, brutal hoodlums, and dangerous women, the story delivers classic mid-century noir: first-person tough-guy narration, sudden bursts of violence, and a single-minded thirst for vengeance that can only be quenched with a bullet and a trail of bodies.
