The Horse Latitudes - Robert Ferrigno. Greaaaaat ****in' book. So underrated and didn't get enough recognition. S'about an ex-dealer trying to redeem himself by trying to solve a homicide in which his ex-wife is somehow, mysteriously involved in. And he still loves her... but so, he has to go back through LA's underworld of the late 90s, hook up with all his old dealin' friends, pay people off, do odd favors... and just, the characters this guy runs into... the novel is strong mainly because of the extreme caliber of the characters. Dealers are funny people, interesting people. All of 'em friggin' nuts. The book is chock full of dark-humour and ideal, debaucherous situations. Recommend it, if you can still find it anywhere.
