{"product_id":"hoodtown-expanded-second-edition-9781686695360","title":"Hoodtown: Expanded Second Edition","description":"It's mayhem, murder and masks in the acclaimed genre-bending novel from the \"First Lady of Hard Case Crime\" Christa Faust (Money Shot, Choke Hold).Hoodtown, ghetto of masked wrestlers, inner-city sanctuary of hooded culture. Evolved from lucha libre, the family gimmick is sacred, and the mask is the sole expression of one's identity.Now, Hood prostitutes are turning-up murdered and worse, unmasked, and the 'Skin' establishment is as much help as a paid-off ref. Enter X, former luchadora with a bruised past, a bum knee and no time to play Santo. She's no hero, but there's nobody else to tag-in, as her hunt for a killer uncovers a conspiracy that could take down all of maskedkind.Like Casablanca with wrestling masks, Hoodtown is vintage pulp noir with a lucha libre pop culture twist.This expanded second print edition of the long-sold out HOODTOWN includes introductory texts by Latina filmmakers Ivy Agregan and Gigi Saul Guerrero, a 12 page \"Art of Hoodtown\" gallery featuring unused roughs and originals by illustrator Rafael Navarro, and a sample chapter of Matt Wallace's lucha libre novella RENCOR: Life in Grudge City.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50434372534546,"sku":"9781686695360","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2ca11923-9e74-4c84-b550-8a526260c470.jpg?v=1729600238","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/hoodtown-expanded-second-edition-9781686695360","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
