Charles Carr, T-Man, depends heavily on informants in his pursuit of pushers, passers and makers of "paper" - all those in the thriving business of counterfeiting. Informants are as much a part of the seamy, violent Los Angeles underworld as are the crooks they inform on, and they are crucial to Carr's effort to track down Paul LaMonica, a smooth thug whose skill at manufacturing paper is matched by his murderous amorality.
There are a great many victims in the bloody chase LaMonica leads Carr on, a trail that runs from L.A. to Houston to San Diego to Ensenada, Mexico - and the informants are among them; informing is a dangerous game.
As readers of Gerald Petievich's earlier books know, the excitement of the pursuit is matched by the vivid authenticity of the gritty world he depicts. Conventional morality is irrelevant in this world, whether for the crooks or the lawmen - though this taut novel is indeed a powerfully moral tale.

The Quality of the Informant is one of Gerald Petievich's novels starring Treasury Agent (or T-man) Charlie Carr. This particular installment takes place in Los Angeles and points south, including Baja California. In it, Carr and his partner Jack Kelly pursue a counterfeiter named Paul LaMonica, aka Paulie the Printer. LaMonica also happens to be a remorseless killer.The writing contained in this short, gripping crime novel is unflinchingly hardboiled. Petievich pulls no punches as he describes society's criminal netherworld in all its depravity. Protagonist Carr is neither saint nor superhero yet he somehow manages to get the job done. It's almost as if he's an innocent bystander in the drama of his own life. The Quality of the Informant also contains a number of very memorable vignettes...many of which, I'm sure, derive from the author's past experiences as a real life T-man.
This is an excellent, hard hitting work of fiction. Highly recommended to fans of hardboiled crime.
