Set in Provincetown on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, this noir thriller follows the story of Tim Madden, a former bartender and drug runner struggling to make a living as a writer who wakes one morning to find himself with a new tattoo and the passenger seat of his car covered in blood. Having no recollection of the night before, Madden elects to solve the mystery himself, and a series of dangerous and unforeseen situations unfold. The novel was adapted into a film of the same name which Mailer directed in 1987.
