Review title: Not Thompson at his best
Product review: Thompson is going through the motions here, with what is for him a very typical, even ordinary plot and an inconsistently characterized protagonist. The two female leads are unusually annoying, and the stakes never seem very high, despite the increasing body count. It's got its moments, but overall this is a major disappointment. Still, it's better than Texas By the Tail.If you want a taste of Thompson, just about any one of his other books is a better starting place.
