Excerpt:
Whichever way he looked at it, it wasn't much. Starsky kept pulling out the bankbook as if perhaps somehow, miraculously, there would be more money in it than the last time he looked. There wasn't. There would be enough to pay that month's rent and buy some food, with only spare change left over. And he couldn't touch the rent or food money; Hutch had pitched in several times from his own depleted savings already. No, he had to face it. He was simply broke.
