This book kicks!

Another quick fun read full of action, mystery, great characters and more. I'm halfway through the Miles Jacoby P.I. series, and they've stood the test of times 30+ years after Randisi wrote them. Love his books for the fast action and easy reading. "Full Contact" is probably the best yet in this series, I couldn't stop reading until the last punch, kick and solution were thrown. On to the next one!
