Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The time is 1996. Our narrator, Coddy, a policeman, is underpaid, sleep-deprived, and overweight. Coddyâs partner, Bellamy, is homeless, living out of their shared squad car, littering the back seat with his dirty underwear and empty cigarette packs. Free Box and Barbie are squatters who rob Rainbow Health Foods at gunpoint for something to eat. From the junkies openly shooting up on stoops to the homeless men with their fleets of shopping carts piled high with garbage, Peter Plateâs Mission District is "a catechism in destruction," one that doesnât end until someone is apprehended for an unsolved crime. A story about inner-city, west coast gentrification at the end of the 20th century.
