In Southern California in 1990, most people figured they'd get killed by the carcinogen. Lenny and Bekka are more concerned about lead poisoning....
The smog-soaked Southland is home to Hollywood stars, surfing, car culture, and year-round tans. It's also home to Lenny and Bekka, two employees at an adult film studio whose lives keep getting complicated. They just wanna snort dope and have fun. I mean, you'd think becoming an associate of the mafia would be just another job, right? Being friends with a career meth lab operator should be stress-free, too. Go figure.
This is the second book in the "Coital Charade" series, containing four new stories:
Ferrari: Frankie's beloved Testarossa gets torched, and the SoCal mafia sends Lenny to track down who did it. Then people he contacts keep turning up dead, and the Family suspects it's him.
Chrissie: The morning after a wild party, Vinny's wife Chrissie gets snatched from a grocery store... and Lenny and Bekka were the last ones to see her, so the Family says it's up to them to find her, or else. The two contend with dishonest friends, amphetamine psychosis, and an ugly side of the porn business while they track Chrissie down.
Powder: Lenny's childhood friend Mikey has absconded with a suitcase full of the mafia's cocaine, and Lenny has to find them both. But Bekka is in far, far greater danger....
Boss: Someone is trying to kill Boss, Lenny and Bekka's six foot seven, meth-cooking, outlaw biker friend. By helping protect Boss, our duo become targets too, and these boys don't play nice at all.
This is millennial pulp fiction, stories from the flip side of paradise. Don't come here looking for heroes, the nicest people here are drug-addicted pornographers who seem to thrive on smog and taqueria food. But if you hang around with Lenny and Bekka, you won't be bored.
