I like the Zoot-Suit Riots, too. It's kind of a
"revisionist"
hard-boiled story because the detective,
POTENTIAL SPOILER
Nathan Younger, is so wishy-washy and inept. The way he's
sucked in by
the femme-fatale, however, is wonderful. Not since out of the
past has
a detective been so totally undermined and destroyed by a
sexy woman's
wiles.
