businesses really began to change the community
for the better. As the area became more developed,
more people moved there. Eventually Wal-Mart made

Make Such A Decision Kenzie And Gennaro One

he captures the citys subcultures beautifully from
the hushed refinement of the old-money suburbs to
the grittiness of tacky motels and bail-bond
agencies. He has a unique way of presenting his
mysteries with an e...
