In Providence, everyone’s a killer, everyone’s a victim, and everyone’s suspected of something.
Providence is a town riddled with corruption and violence, where crime lords rule and human life has no value. When a mysterious kid intent on revenge bursts into crime boss Raft’s hideaway, he unintentionally does Raymond Dakota a favor. Did Dakota's relationships with double-dealing boxer Cordel Evans and firebrand Mona Chase put him in this tight spot? And what part has Dakota himself played in the cycle of violence that has given this town no future?
**PLEASE READ: I've put parts of Dead Man's Cigarettes up here to test the material so far. It's not complete but I'm regularly updating it and hope to have the complete book up in a few weeks. At the moment I'm most concerned with whether the story and the plot structure works. It is important to note that this is a hardboiled crime novel told in the form of a reverse narrative. I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback. I'm also playing around with different cover ideas so these may also be changed from time to time, cheers Eoin**
