Hi Mario,
I know Fever Kill has some big fans on the list, but it didn't really
work for me. It depended too much on a supposedly smart guy doing dumb
things just to move the plot along, that and a whole lot of macho
posturing and fantasy fulfillment. And what was that whole bit about
having adopted his sister in law's kids? And it didn't help that I read
it not too long after Dave's Small Crimes, a far more convincing story
of a selfdestructive ex cop (granted, Crease is still a cop in Fever
Kill, albeit an undercover one gone native who rivals his quarry/friend
in craziness).
Now Piccirilli's Cold Spot, that's a great read. Really looking forward
to the next in that series scheduled for next month. I'm such a sucker
for books about getaway drivers.
Mark
