Sick city : a novel

O'Neill, Tony, 1978-2010
Book
Jeffrey has nowhere to go when Bill, his sugar-daddy boyfriend, dies. Before he sets off into the bright glare of LA, he's sure to grab a few parting momentos: cash, a gun, some drugs, and one ancient, metal film canister that contains a treasure greater than all the rest combined, a tape taken from the scene of the Sharon Tate murders. "Sick City is fun, twisted and brutal..O'Neill could be our generation's Jim Thompson."- James Frey, author of Bright Shiny Morning "Tony O'Neill works his L.A. people the way Dutch Leonard had his hand down the pants of every degenerate in his great Detroit novels."- Barry Gifford, author of Wild at Heart From Tony O'Neill, the author of Down and Out on Murder Mile and coauthor of the Neon Angel and the New York Times bestselling Hero of the Underground, comes Sick City-a wild adventure of two junkies, Hollywood, and the Sharon Tate sex tape. Readers of Elmore Leonard (Get Shorty) and Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting) will take great delight in Sick City, "a disturbingly twisted ride through Hollywood's underbelly with a degenerate cast of colorfully interwoven characters" (Slash).
