A rye-soaked neo-noir novel about a two-bit hood on a crime spree through Prohibition-era Montreal. Montreal, 1926. Mick is down on his luck until an old pal offers him a loaded revolver and a job: riding shotgun in a truck running booze across the border. Stateside Prohibition has opened up a market for certain amusements, vicious or otherwise. Mick takes the job--and his problems begin.
