あらすじ・解説
Ron Pickles was having a bad day, but then again, no one working or living in Chicago’s ghetto ever really has a good day.
He needed one more sale for his black ledger before he went home, but suckers in business suits were easy targets, especially at night, and it was getting dark.
He could just go home, but it was Friday night, and that meant his mom—who lived in the apartment unit next door—would be liquored up and waiting to pounce with a barrage of obscenities directed at her mortal enemy: his wife.
Of course, his wife would be waiting in the doorway on the other side of the hallway, cold and expressionless, like a puritan saint preaching a sermon about the “disgusting drunk” ranting on the other side of the hall.
It was a tough choice: stay in the ghetto and risk his life trying to keep clear of the gangbangers, drug dealers, and prostitutes, or go home to a wicked wife and a drunken mother just waiting for his arrival. He decided to stay a little longer.
批評家のレビュー
“I can’t say enough about The Black Ledger. It is superbly written and it’s a compulsive page turner. A book like this is especially rare. They don’t come along that often. So, grab it and hang on for a unique experience you might never, ever have again.”–Bob Gelms, 365ink Magazine
“This novel breaks barriers of the thriller genre. I have never read something so unique as this world that D.G. Allen has created.”–John Franklin, screenwriter of Children of the Corn 666: Isaac’s Return and author of Prime Cuts (graphic novel)
