Description
For the better part of 20 years, Clyde ‘The Viper’ Morton has been in love with Yolanda ‘Yo-Yo’ DeVray, a singer of immense talent but a woman consumed by demons. By turns ambitious and self-destructive, conniving and naive, Yo-Yo is a classic femme fatale. She is a bright star in a constellation of compelling characters including chauffeur-turned gangster Peewee Robinson, Jewish kingpin Abraham ‘Mr. O’ Orlinsky, heroin dealer West Indian Charlie, corrupt cop Red Carney, wife-beating singer Pretty Paul Baxter, pimp Buttercup Jones and brutal enforcer Randall Country Johnson.
