DESCRIPTION:
kathynruss said How'd I Miss This?. I read and enjoyed the first six Alton Rhodes books late last year. Lawrence SaMaria is a worthy to assume the mantle left bereft when Robert Parker passed. This newest mystery was as enjoyable as those first ones. My favorite characters were there, too, as well as Alice, Maks and Gunner.. Roger Deming said Great read. Well written book tight plot. Fast action.Would read more books by this author. Makes a great book. Hope to see more.. Doctor Al said Publish and/or Perish. Been catching up on author's books.
