The summary on the back of the library copy I read had a phrase to the effect of, is this a fever dream, or did it happen... In my mind, I'd like to hope it was a fever dream because it was completely disturbing (some pedo action).
Still, though I felt like I was reading something akin to a car crash (pun unintended), which has also been explored expertly by Ballard, I couldn't help but continue reading until the end.

Technically she isn't a sex worker, she just poses nude/half nude for photos in a magazine. But she gets up close and personal with her male counterpart.
I really liked the story, probably thanks to my above mentioned admission.
There were a few reasons why I didn't give it a higher rating. His relationship with his girlfriend, and the ending--or the bit near the end. I'd have liked a little more of them as a couple but since I know there are more books maybe I'll see more of them in those :-)
