Ovid Demaris

The Enforcer Ovid Demaris

When someone needs bribing, beating or killing, the L. A. mob sends The Enforcer to do the job. He drives the flashiest cars, he wears the most expensive clothes, and he beds the hottest women. He has the connections and the money to buy just about anything... or anyone...that he wants.

But now The Enforcer is being hunted... by a young, ambitious cop. The Enforcer knows there's only one way this can end...with one of them in a grave. That's fine with him.

Thirty years after the publication of this noir classic, Demaris would write The Last Mafioso, the bestselling biography of Jimmy Fratiano, a real-life enforcer in Los Angeles.
