Set in and around Philadelphia, the city native son David Goodis turned into a jungle of noir, RAGE BEGETS MURDER follows the strangely intertwined destinies of two extended families-one Jewish, the other Italian-during the early years of dance-party television. Race relations clash with under-aged girls searching for any career path leading them out of their stifling neighborhoods and suffocating parents. The dialogue is crisp, clear, and dead-on for the period, making RAGE BEGETS MURDER a strong contender in the Best First-Novel sweepstakes.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeremiah Healy, author of RIGHT TO DIE and SHALLOW GRAVES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNaomi was all too aware of 'Varsity Dance', the 1950s TV dance show that was a gold mine for everyone.
