Reviews

[Bob Box · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read in 1986. A deadly concoction of theft, betrayal and murder from Gores first novel. My last book of 1968.. Read a total of 36 books that year.

This book reminded me quite a bit of the Kojac-style crime dramas straight from the beginning. I looked up the author and Gores has written episodes for many different TV series. There are a lot of surprises in this one. It's not too long and It felt pretty good to go back in time to several places I've lived, but to the other side of the tracks.
