After attending college in New York, Chase returns to Vegas and is drawn
into the lucrative but dangerous world of a teenage call-girl service
with his childhood friend Michele, a beautiful Salvadoran immigrant with
whom he shares a tragic past. Over the course of one extraordinary
summer they will confront the violence and emptiness at the heart of the
city and their generation.
At once stark and electrically atmospheric, horrifying and hopeful, The
Delivery Man is an ambitious literary novel and a powerful indictment
of a society in which personal responsibility has been abandoned, lust
is increasingly mistaken for love, and innocence is an anachronism.
