From Publishers Weekly:
Ring ( Telluride Smile ) dedicates this steamy, pitiless, tough-as-whipcord thriller about a modern Circe who uses sex to enslave a loser and turn him into a murdering swine to James M. Cain, who might have been proud to have written it himself. Macky is a photographer for a Tucson newspaper who believes that the only purpose of journalism is to nail someone, by fair means or foul. He enjoys swilling tequila, parachuting off a 600-foot rock and getting much too close to his source, the temptress who calls herself Alice Malone. Suggesting a way to nail Leo Harker, a retired law-and-order judge who raises fighting pit bulls, Alice makes it possible for Macky to photograph the judge indulging in his bloody illegal sport. But that's not enough: Alice soon blackmails Macky into helping her kill the judge, whom she accuses of torturing her and degrading her sexually. The graphic descriptions of dogs fighting to the death, of Alice's sadomasochistic tendencies and of the horrible method used to dispose of the judge are not for the squeamish. Still, so long as we don't have to meet these nasty folks in person, Ring raising Cain is a rousing experience.

From Library Journal:
In a riveting tale of suspense and adven ture, Judge Leo Harker and Russell Macky, an investigative reporter for the Tucson News Gazette , face off in a dispute over illegal dog fighting in Arizona. Only one person recognizes the full power and determination of the two men. For motives of her own, she baits and goads them as deliberately as pit bull trainers condition their dogs. And, as pit bulls fight to the death, so these two men continue their conflict until only one is still alive. The battle is enthralling: the characters attack, regroup, and attack again, re sponding to the killer instinct called to the surface by outside forces. In this, his third novel, Ring ( Telluride Smile; Peregrine Dream) draws inspiration from the dark side of human nature and mental dysfunction to create an unflattering but vivid image of the underbelly of Arizona society and culture that will not be easily forgot ten.
