When Dogs Could Talk David S Wellhauser

Publisher Marketing: "Need you at Babilani, Charlie-know the place?" Harris came to regret answering the Chief Inspector's call, but that cold January evening it appeared to be just another story. It wasn't. What follows from this meeting is a journey through economic collapse, crime, espionage, counter-intelligence, insurrection, civil war, accident, coincidence, psychosis, spree killing, and mass murder. When Dogs Could Talk follows Charlie Harris through a year in the life of a city-preparing for a season in hell. Through a complex cast of characters-political leaders, criminals, caitiffs, radical lesbians, psychopaths, reporters, lovers, hookers, strippers, homophobes, families, pimps, revolutionaries, demagogues, children, the homeless, street gangs, detectives, doctors, thugs, constables, navvies, nurses, convicts, spies, murderers, abortionists, errant philosophers, nihilists, terrorists, double-agents, and the vast, nameless hoi polloi-When Dogs Could Talk carries the reader through a page turning psychological thriller which is part political gang rape, part philosophical barbarism, and part post-modern morality play. Through the extremities of the year one question haunts- Is revolution the art of political plagiarism?
