These hard crime tales are replete with heroes, fools, wicked femme fatales, crooked grifters, crazy punks, vile con men, vengeful vigilantes, evil child molesters, plus the usual array of hardcore killers, thieves and worse - the broad spectrum of crime in many of its manifestations. These stories are not for the faint of heart - they're not even "nice" stories - but they are definitely full of heart and...hard-boiled attitude!
