Train is a black golf caddy with a real knack for the game. Unjustly accused of participating in a sadistic crime, he is fired from his job at a Beverly Hills golf club. Hired by an L.A. police detective to help him get revenge on a golf-related gambling ring, Train finds himself increasingly enmeshed in the violence and hatred that are the true underpinnings of the noir-ish underbelly of L.A. and environs. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.
