Smack Goddess is a gripping story that takes you into the secret world of big-business drugs, dealers and users, and the war being waged against them. As this roller-coaster-ride of a novel begins, the Smack Goddess, Sonia (Sonny) Byrne-Downes, is busted and carted off to jail amid roaring headlines in all of the New York daily papers. Chic and freaky-looking, she is a "dealer to the stars" and the alleged ringleader of one of the country's major drug distribution networks. Sonny's arrest sends shock waves through her far-flung network of friends and conspirators. Her close ties and friendship to punk rocker Rickie Rude soon lead to his arrest. Rock stars, drug dealers, agents, prosecutors, lawyers, and judges all play a part in the web created by the Smack Goddess. The tumultuous drama continues right up to the trials of Sonny and Rickie, which feature some of the liveliest courtroom scenes since Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities. Richard Stratton has been there. A superb storyteller, he brings you inside a dangerous universe that few know and have ever written about.
