Comment :
As much as I have enjoyed his Jay Porter series, It's a pleasure to have something from Joe Clifford featuring a different set of characters. Again the backdrop is bleak, but this time it's dreary upstate New York, as opposed to wintry New Hampshire. Again Clifford draws on his hard-earned insights into drug culture and the insidious effects of drugs on the human psyche. His knack for deft little observations and details is on full display too, and there's a lot of zingy dialogue. What really set this story apart for me, though were the sequences written from Benny's point of view. They are quite powerful and reminiscent of "The Sound and the Fury" (though Benny also has much in common with Steinbeck's "Lenny" among other characters).
