I really like this character. Spade is a self indulgent womanizer who doesn't pretend he is a smarter good guy. I bumbled right along with him as he gathered information. He summed his success up very well when he disclosed the theory of the fall guy. He is a character who sees everything as opportunities. it appears that his experience on the streets gives him insights into people and behavior more then with obscure facts. He brought about his victory by playing the people against each other. He conned the con men.

The Picture of Dorian Grey, and Paradise Lost.

My name it's Judy. I live in Colorado Springs, Co. My favorite genres are gothic, sci fi, historical romance, forensic crime and psychological thrillers. Favorite authors are Diane Gabaldon, Patricia Cornwell, Marion Zimmer Bradley, John LeCarre, Charles Dickens, Austen, Bronte sisters, JC and Kristen Caste and Stephanie Meyers. I just finished reading the Study trilogy by Maria Snyder. I have never been in an online book club and wanted to give it a try. And this club, I hope, will encourage me to read more of the classics I haven't gotten to yet.
