Board #3 S.O.B. Leonard Marks

This is the city tourists don't see and most New Yorkers - the ones with jobs, the ones with money, the ones who own homes - don't even know about. It's the city where the hookers and pimps and strippers live and survive, where the predators exist and prey on the rest of us and on each other, the city where violence is commonplace and nearly always present. It's midtown Manhattan where visitors come to see shows and eat in fancy restaurants and sleep in expensive hotels but it's also where the furnished rooms and SRO's are, where the chicken hawks work the streets and docks, where weapons are always close to hand and the police write off murders and assaults. It's the world of John Board and John Puddle and others like them. This is book number three of twelve. The first, the Man With The Pointy Stick, introduced John Puddle. The second, John Board, focused on Board, this one continues the story. If you liked or were intrigued by the first two you'll like this as well.
