In the final instalment of Peter Plate''s acclaimed Mission Quartet, Doojie, Eichmann and Bobo are squatters and small-time dope dealer living in a two-car garage behind the Del Rosa Laundromat on Mission Street in San Francisco. Their prices are reasonable, the quality of their product questionable. Flaherty is an overweight cowboy cop, who boasts the departmental record for arrests made in the line of duty. When Doojie witnesses Flaherty shooting a man, the sadistic cop becomes so bent on the three friends'' destruction that he hardly notices his own.

Industry Reviews

"An exciting crime novel that doesn't skimp on introspection." - Time Out New York "...one of the most intriguing novelists writing now." - Review of Contemporary Fiction "Plate reveals a brutal barbarous society in which there is no honesty among thieves and law enforces... This is a powerful, deeply felt book." - The Saturday Times "Plate's sixth novel in the past decade and probably his best. His San Francisco is a fiery hell, where the Devil rides in a squad car, and God doesn't deign to put in an appearance." - The San Francisco Chronicle
