Beschreibung des Verlags
John Albano schlägt sich als Geldeinsammler für die New Yorker Cosa Nostra durch. Er kassiert die Tageseinnahmen, die beim Abspielen des von der Mafia produzierten Pornofilms und späteren Welthits Deep Throat in schmuddeligen Hinterzimmern anfallen. Bezahlt wird hauptsächlich mit 5-Dollar-Scheinen, die Johnny Porno (so nennt man den Mann, der diesen Job macht) in seinem Schrottauto durch die Gegend fährt.
Das erweckt Begehrlichkeiten, und so sind sie alle hinter Johnny Porno her: korrupte Cops, neurotische Killer, freischaffende Schurken, das FBI und seine sehr gierige Ex-Frau.
New Yorker Streetlife im Jahr 1973. Sehr komisch, gemein und knallhart.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Set in New York City in 1973, Stella's vibrant seventh crime novel catches the cadence and daily grind of organized crime grunts. John Albano, who lost his carpenter job and his union card because he punched out his foreman, now collects cash receipts for the mob from illicit screenings of Deep Throat, the mob-produced pornographic film that reputedly would earn more than $600 million. Still struggling to pay his bills as well as child support for his beloved son, Albano considers getting more involved with the Mafia, despite his qualms. Stella (Mafiya) tosses an eclectic cast of characters into the mix, including Albano's remarried ex-wife and police investigators looking into the mobster Albano reports to, Eddie Vento. Though implausible subplots at times threaten to overwhelm the main plot, admirers of Elmore Leonard and George V. Higgins will be happy.
