The newest book by Gary Lukatch, Bankers Hours, is a deeply disturbing slog through the pain-filled ditches of California’s long-suffering savings and loan industry. A startling expos of the brutal underside of L.A.s most notorious and heretofore-unknown S&L groupies. The author should be wrapped in a straitjacket and confined in a maximum-security mental institution. If you buy this book, you should hunt the author down and sterilize him. If you got this book free, well, you get what you pay for.
