Title: With a better editor, it could have been an excellent book.
Product review: I can't quite agree with sparks@campfour from Salt Lake but he was pretty close. Folsom wrote a very complex, convoluted novel but he got some of his facts wrong, i.e., absolute zero is 459.69 deg. F., not something over 500 deg. F. In a couple of places, he had the hero remembering faces that he had seen at a distance at night in the rain. He had just too many people acting correctly on impulse, intuition or coincidence. I grant there are probably detectives as experienced and knowledgable as detective McVey but I dare say there are none who have his unfailing sense of what what his next action should be. Perhaps with a better editor, Folsom could turn in a good novel. I got through the book OK but I had some trouble with believablilty.
