Puts me in mind of this story I read just this weekend. It's by Jerry Stahl and is in a collection called Cocaine Chronicles from Akashic:

The collection is edited by Los Angeles labor organizer/activist turned crime writer Gary Phillips. Phillips also edits a forthcoming collection from Verso called Politics Noir: Dark Tales from the Corridors of Power. Contributors include Mike Davis.
