Quote from this book
"He slipped into a corner booth, away from the dancing men, where it was quietest, where the odors of musk and frangipani hung less heavy on the air. A slender lamp glowed softly in the booth. He turned it down; down to where the only the club's blue overheads filtered through the beaded curtain, diffusing, blurring the image thrown back by the mirrored walls of his light, thin-boned handsomeness.

'Yes sir?' The barboy stepped through the beads and stood smiling. Clad in gold-sequinned trunks, his greased muscles seemed to roll in independent motion, like fat snakes beneath his naked skin.

'Whiskey,' Jesse said. He caught the insouciant grin, the broad white-tooth crescent that formed on the young man's face. Jesse looked away, tried to control the flow of blood to his cheeks."
