Achoimre: | In this remarkable graphic version, Geoff Grandfield's drawings vividly bring to life the bleak terrain and doomed characters of Paul Cain's masterpiece. Set in Los Angeles during the Depression, Fast One is the saga of gunman-gambler Gerry Kells and his dipsomaniac lover S. Granquist (she has no first name) who, having rearranged the L.A. underworld, "disappear" in a climax which is so explosive that it is matched only by their first appearance. Fast One has a quite relentless pace and the plot, twisting and turning as it does, defies summary.
