Summary: Pinoy noir from the dark underbelly of Manila's backstreets, the bottom of the great pyramid of the city's ecology of criminality--a world of vice and corruption where crooked cops, syndicates, private armies, and jail gangs rule--a tale of alternative ethics, pride, and twisted honor. One small girl, Gina, weaponizes her extraordinary powers of sexual attraction to rise above the world of big-time-small-time operators. Queen of her private universe, the Small-but-terrible Gina victimizes her allies and victimizers alike, and considers all men she allows in her universe to be nothing more than "stupid boys." Perhaps she is right. The Small-but-terrible Gina is book one of a trilogy that examines Manila's ecology of criminality across three generations--fifty years--and across the city's whole socioeconomic and class spectrum. The two subsequent volumes are Professional Women and Seeking Radiance. Back cover
