********** It's got a sort of trashy mediocrity that was standard in some of the older low-level hardboiled. I didn't think it had any of the intensity I associate with Thompson. The absurdity of Hiaasen is probably closest. I can't recommend it, but I also think you should take my comments with a grain of salt. Your taste and mine vary quite a bit.
