I forgot how sick and twisted Olden's bad guys can be - he rivals Lustbader for most sick and twisted bad dude.

The MC always amazes me how he takes his wife's infidelity in stride - as if that is part of her and he loves her including her inability to be faithful. At least the wife didn't lie or make excuses. Great action for a detective book. Reminds me of the Nicholas Linnear by Eric Van Lustbader which like these books mixes the West with the ancient Orient.

A good ol' crime detective story is a nice change. Reading a book set in the late 1970s is different because there are no computers, cell phones, and other tech that plagues our lives. Also absent is the concept of safe sex, AIDS, and other STDs if mentioned at all. Unprotected sex with a New York transexual prostitute would be unthinkable today.

I do occasionally enjoy a good detective story. This book is one I have wanted to read for some time, but not so badly as to buy a copy. A nice change from harem urban fantasy and space opera.
