So much slang ! Luckily the story moves back and forth from the world and conversations of Clare, her husband, Bonn and the police, to that of the characters around Bonn, the "goers", prostitutes and drug runners whose slang, rules and lifestyles are tough to follow. Clare's need for Bonn with apparently little real understanding of his situation is strange. Her search for Jase is just sad.... Gash's humor in his Lovejoy's tales is needed. ( )
