Description

In his debut work, Shu Ejima threads a dark tale that combines the stories of a Los Angeles Police Detective investigating a family massacre and that of young Japanese women mixed-up with the Mafia. The tales collide when Yuko, nicknamed Butch, is assigned by her best-friend to transport $75,000 worth of cocaine to a mysterious boy Mafioso named Mondo. A tightly-plotted story filled with action and compelling characters, Quick Draw mixes American gang-violence and police drama with Japanese humour and thrills.
