Or maybe do, as you'll be about half right, at least. I've read a few Hard Case Crime novels, having bought a dozen or so from Humble Bundle years back. Most have been good, one was a dud, but then I decided to read this one while traveling for the holidays.

This story is a gripper. It gets you right from the beginning and hardly lets up. This is Pulp Noir at its finest, with a combination of 2-dimensional throw-away characters that the well-rounded protagonist and her associate have to navigate through. The author does a great job of relaying Angel's, the main character, thinking and reactions to everything she gets herself into.
