Edged Weapons by William Goldman - USED

Holly has been brutally raped. Barely conscious, she mouths two words: The Mex. Alone in a bar, a youngish woman waits for her boyfriend. A big Mexican moves towards her, drunk, but doing a decent job of hiding it. She is not usually frightened...Who is the Mex? What manner of man? Nick Escalante has the answer. Escalante is the master of edged weapons: a tough guy a good guy, about to wake up to his five thousandth morning in Las Vegas (and that's long enough for anyone to have luck on the their side). He roams the sleazy underside of the city picking up bucks as a chaperone. His mission is to earn the freedom money he needs to retire, to avenge an appalling rape, and to satisfy the honor of a misjudged an. Along the way he meets an array of bizarre characters.
