A never-before-published fictional account of the 1944 murder of David Kammerer by Lucien Carr, a friend of William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, is written in the form of noir crime novel, with the two authors writing alternating voices from the perspectives of a bartender with ties to the criminal underworld and a hard-drinking merchant marine.
