Review title: A bit of a mess
Product review: I enjoyed The Camel Club, but this sequel to that novel is a bit of a mess with a number of continuity errors. The material involving the short and long cons perpetrated against the owner of an Atlantic City casino constitutes the more interesting part of the book, but one has to wonder how the Camel Club members manage to survive in their segment, given how utterly incompetent they are. Time and again, they are kidnapped or blackjacked from behind. And I hardly know what to say about the convenient placement of a box cutter that allows for the improbable escape from deadly peril by two of the characters. If one can read this book with an entirely uncritical eye, there is some entertainment value here, but there is a nearly unlimited number of thrillers out there that would be more worth someone's time.
