Summary: Exciting Read
Comment: Street Sweeper is Ronin Ro's novel about a killer for hire who undergoes a change of heart. Underneath this tale Ro shows the reader that, like the killer, a confused young guy named Jerome Usher (who starts out enjoying the so-called finer things in life), it's better to put people over possessions. Usher, as a character, is fascinating and unpredictable. If he isn't arguing over money, he's going through some of the best action scenes since the earliest Hong Kong films with Chow Yun Fat (which, along with Graham Greene's "A Gun For Sale") seem to be a major influence. If Jerome isn't cracking jokes, he's giving advice to a down and out single mom defeated by life. The only unfortunate thing about Street Sweeper was that its publisher had some cockamamie scheme to release it only to record shops. A reprinting is in order, and this time put it in bookstores! Street Sweeper is a classic work that advances noir writing way past the Elmore Leonard and Walter Mosley clones.
