The novel is a rough gem. It does have a characteristic skin with iron stains. Like most rough gems, the novel isn’t free from inclusions or blemishes.
The novel portrays a slice of gem trade replete with black humor and raunchy dialogue, along with a cast of ´90s impresarios, bozos, lust-driven wives, gangsters and plain Joe Does. All are swept up in this tornado of a plot.
