Posted Up On Amazon and titled Brilliant Noir -- Thank you, Dear Reader The Moth, a contemporary noir novel, by Scott Archer Jones, is an unvarnished portrait of a man trying to get by in the unvarnished but compelling world of East Los Angeles. Moth, the man, runs a pawn shop that purveys not only the cast-offs of the desperate, but also the tools of crime. Jones masterfully describes a life spent on the dangerous fringes of a world where no deed—good or bad—goes unpunished.
