"The White Flamingo – the third ‘Joe Dylan crime noir book ‘ – is hard-boiled pulp fiction pumped up to the max. It’s a lethal cocktail of graphic violence, booze, drugs and sex. It’s bright lights and dark shadows and it’s certainly not for the fainthearted." - Paul Brazill.
James Newman writes with a flamethrower. He's terrifically gifted, enormously energetic, and in THE WHITE FLAMINGO he builds up, layer by layer, like lacquer, the everyday reality of "Fun City" with such intensity that he creates a nightmare town so terrible that even the advent of a modern-day Jack the Ripper can only make it a tiny bit worse. Newman has serious talent, devoted (in this case, anyway) almost entirely to the noir side of life in a city that has more than its share of noir. - Timothy Hallinan.
FUN CITY is run by corrupt officials and respectable gangsters wallowing in luxury mansions in the hills high above the harbour, the beach, and the neon jungle.
Vice worker TAMMY is found mutilated on top of a pool table, an effete pervert, and son to the 1970's pin-up beauty queen once known as THE WHITE FLAMINGO, is locked up.
Can Detective JOE DYLAN find THE KILLER before he becomes one of the hunted?
