Furio, that is one of my favorite books (read it three times). Real cool how the author used real LA/Detroit figures but just changed the names by one or two letters LOL. They were supposed to make a movie with Deniro as Frankie but it fell through. Too bad as it would have made an awesome movie. You should check out the other Don Winslow books if you haven't. Sorry, I can't answer your question though.
