Lots of bad language, violence (sometimes gratuitous), sex and unnerving scenarios - used in the right context and well-worded - for me brought the characters good, bad and downright crazy, very much to life. A completely unexpected twist at the end made this a very enjoyable read.

This book oozes quality , a truly modern tale that jumps off the page and bites down , dragging you into its murky depths with you screaming for more .
It moves at a healthy pace and has a good solid feel to it, its roots are a complex story that throws you off balance as it unravells.
Recomended .

‘Concrete Underground’ knocked me out. It takes the noir plot and loops it into a feedback cycle until it breaks. It embraces the implausibility of the hero and squeezes horror out of it. Fast, sexy fun is laid on top of a growing layer of scar tissue on human faces until you can’t tell the difference anymore. It wears its influences on its sleeve and even walks you through them, but it makes something new out of them. A true 21st century novel.

..and Concrete Underground was every bit as good as I expected it.
I loved its dreamy, cyclical nature. I loved the little inconsequential(or not) details, like the art installations, or the description of the faults of mystery fiction, or the pieces of wisdom spoken by unexpected characters in unexpected moments.. I loved its definite Lynch-esque feel. I loved its punk-as-f*ck language.
I will definitely re-read, to catch details I didn't on the first reading, and to enjoy again scenes that stuck with me.
Moxie Mezcal is now in my very short list of writers whose books I eagerly await, and will drop everything else to read.
