Structurally similar to Smith's last book one-eyed Jacks, All Hat is a tough, seamless tale about living on the edge, figuratively and literally, of a sprawling urban complexity. Ray Dokes returns from a prison stretch to the horse-racing community working the gaps between sub-divisions west of Toronto. He has debts to pay, and scores to settle. An up-to-date country noir from a first-rate storyteller.
