THAT WHICH IS CROOKED

A concise, credible portrait of the ways of a killer and his ways of killing, this tells of Wally Howard, mother's boy in a brood of hell-raisers. Toneless, sexless, Wally's many humiliations lead him to a rationalized revenge against a brother, some years later against a sister, until, forced to kill a third time, he fails and takes his own life...Accent on character, on evil which is humdrum rather than holding, this proceeds with a steady sobriety.
