Kapak in interested because he was robbed by a lone gunman when he was making a night deposit. Kapak goes after Carver to get his money back. This does not go well for Kapak as now he's made an enemy of Joe Carver. A good fast paced thriller. ( )

This was a great read - listen actually and the reader did an amazing job. I love Thomas Perry novels. ( )

Huh. This book really goes nowhere and takes quite a bit of time to do so.
The story is basically about robbing a strip club owner a couple of times, by a not very interesting criminal. Said criminal meets some crazy girl and she joins him for future robberies, but she is full blown crazy.
Add in a detective who is a polygamist- although why this is a trait of the character is beyond me since it winds up not being an issue, except in part of how the author ends the book.
The problem with this book is it isn’t funny it isn’t thrilling, there isn’t any mystery, none of the characters are at all interesting, they are all poorly developed so you have no idea why they behave and act as they do, there are long winded descriptions of events that have no bearing on the story, and worst of all is a barely thought out ending. I don’t know if the author thought maybe this would be a series, but the end of the book is less satisfying than the rest of it.
I seriously doubt I would read another book by this author. ( )

This case of mistaken identity moves at a fast, thrilling pace. I found it hard to put down. ( )

Great read, stayed up waaaaay to late because I just couldn't put it down. ( )
