A a collection of character-driven crime stories.
Hapless mobsters, corrupt cops, and other fated losers play out the string in interconnected stories.
By turn surreal, tragic, and darkly funny, the 12 stories in this exquisite collection from Goldberg hold up a mirror to the unique landscape of Southern California’s Inland Empire.
For a crime writer, a sense of place means as much as clean prose and a morally tormented hero. So a lot of what makes Tod Goldberg’s lively, often entertainingly snarky story collection The Low Desert so cohesive is its preferred destination for murder and despair: West Coast exurbia.
