Joe Ready and Jimmy Cotton — protagonists in Bob Truluck's novel The Art of Redemption — are unlikely compadres. Ready rose through the ranks of the LAPD and spent the best years of his life hunting down kidnappers; Cotton's a de facto draft dodger with a yen for the wild. Nevertheless, they make for one helluva talkative team. Since Ready's nearing his century mark and in need of a recap, the ever-faithful Jimmy obliges with a walk down some of the darkest memory lanes ever trod. With equal parts oral history and crime story, noir fable and hard-boiled fiction, the aptly named Truluck shows that anyone can find redemption.
