From Library Journal:
Not actually mysterious, thrilling, or suspenseful, this heavily promoted title instead approximates a slice-of-life glimpse at the world of loan-sharking. Author Campbell rambles through the lives and tribulations of drug users, gambling addicts, and other risk takers who borrow from Alfonso "Puffy" Pachoulo, violent Hollywood money man and slime bucket. The police watch, mostly from the sidelines, and finally arrive too late to do much good for anyone. Razor-edged prose, fascinating characters, great dialogue, and acute observation promise much but ultimately cannot exonerate the weak climax.--

From Publishers Weekly:
An L.A. detective goes out on an illegal limb to help an old flame's feckless husband who is in trouble with a loan shark. "The gritty milieu and lowdown characters are almost all believably sleazy," stated PW.
