Title: 2 un-connected books and a painfully contrived close
Review: 2 main points - one Ned is a seller but hypocritcially resents it when others sell (at huge profit) the companies that provide him with a job. Two, the last 50 pages are so clumsy and obvious that the editor of this book should be ashamed. Tjhe book 'The Ax' (Westlake) is much sharper at projecting the angry soul of the 'lost the job' survivor. The book is brilliantly readable and eminantly forgettable because Kennedy forgets that coherence is a pre-requisite and that 'from sociological tome ' to 'thriller' doesnt work when the latter is tagged on. The love scene with Debbie doesnt work at all..
