Of the ones listed, recently I've read A BULLET FOR
CINDERELLA, PLEASE WRITE FOR DETAILS, A MAN OF AFFAIRS and
BARRIER ISLAND. That last is his last book and isn't as good
as the rest, but it's still worth reading to fit it into (as

different from each other, and THE EXECUTIONERS you won't
want to miss--that's what they turned into CAPE FEAR twice.
Whatever you pick, you won't go wrong.
