PLOT SUMMARY
In a hard-boiled city of crooks, grifts and rackets lurk a pair of toughs: Box and _____. They're the kind of men capable of extracting apologies and reparations, of teaching you a chilling lesson. They seldom think twice, and ask very few questions.Until one night over the poker table, they encounter a pulp writer with wild ideas and an unscrupulous private detective, leading them into what is either a classic mystery, a senseless maze of corpses, or an inextricable fever dream . . . Drunk on cinematic and literary influence, Muscle is a slice of noir fiction in collapse, a ceaselessly imaginative story of violence, boredom and madness.

Muscle by Alan Trotter is a fresh piece of noir fiction. Our main characters are the two crooks Box and _____. They are on the hunt for odd jobs that most of us, hopefully, would not be willing to fulfill. It felt reminiscent of both A Clockwork Orange and The Time Machine. I guess that can seem like a strange combination, but Alan Trotter made it work.When Box and _____. encounter a private detective and this strange writer, events quickly start to unravel. Oh, and there is a girl of course!
