Twisted City -- Jason Starr


Jason Starr, as we all know, is one sick puppy. So it should come as no surprise that Twisted City is, well, twisted. David Miller, the narrator, seems like a normal enough guy. But he has problems. The recent death of his sister preys on his mind. He's living with a chick who seems a little strange. Or maybe a lot strange. His job isn't going too well. When somebody lifts his wallet, his problems start to get worse. A lot worse. As things go downhill, it begins to seem that maybe Miller's problems aren't all coming from outside himself. (Character is fate, as we all learned when reading Medea in the fourth grade.) There are several nice twists (no pun intended) in the plot, and Starr saves the best one for last. This is primetime noir. Check it out. Posted by Hello
