Wayne is a returning veteran (WWII) who was awarded a purple heart but turns out he was stabbed by a rival pimp in Rome, not exactly the hero of the year. Now he is back home in his home town of Wichita and trying to fit back into "regular" life. He has a job with Collins Aircraft wherein he babysits the head of the company as he blunders through his days drunk, high, and seeking prostitutes. This book won the Best Noir 2011 from the NY Times and it is certainly noir. I enjoyed this book despite the fact that there isn't a likable character here.
