It's mayhem, murder and masks in the acclaimed genre-bending novel from the First Lady of Hard Case Crime Christa Faust (Money Shot, Choke Hold).Hoodtown, ghetto of masked wrestlers, inner-city sanctuary of hooded culture. Evolved from lucha libre, the family gimmick is sacred, and the mask is the sole expression of one's identity.Now, Hood prostitutes are turning-up murdered and worse, unmasked, and the 'Skin' establishment is as much help as a paid-off ref. Enter X, former luchadora with a bruised past, a bum knee and no time to play Santo. She's no hero, but there's nobody else to tag-in, as her hunt for a killer uncovers a conspiracy that could take down all of maskedkind.Like Casablanca with wrestling masks, Hoodtown is vintage pulp noir with a lucha libre pop culture twist.This expanded second print edition of the long-sold out HOODTOWN includes introductory texts by Latina filmmakers Ivy Agregan and Gigi Saul Guerrero, a 12 page Art of Hoodtown gallery featuring unused roughs and originals by illustrator Rafael Navarro, and a sample chapter of Matt Wallace's lucha libre novella RENCOR: Life in Grudge City.
