(pb;
1963─original misleading title: The Sex Castle)
From
the back cover
“Clayton
Biner had it all─swimming pools in California, haciendas in Mexico, blue
evenings on the French Riviera, all the women he could use.
“But
he wanted more. And he got it when he became involved with a vicious Syndicate
peddling heroin─the Big H, the white ‘Horse.’ Now he was really in the big
money─a three million-dollar bundle of danger of death.”
Review
Shoot is a
sleazy, fun, fast and R-rated read with a familiar-but-still-laugh-out-loud
awful cad of a protagonist. It’s violent, sexist and joyously pulpy in all the trashy,
right ways, with some truly hilarious and socially wrong scenes (e.g., Biner’s
visit to his ex-wife, and the boy building the sandcastle at the end). This is
worth an hour and half of your sleazy-minded time, a bit longer than it might
take you to read it.
