Title: Solid Second Novel
Review: "All you need to know is I went cop and he went con. Worlds collided." So says PI Lincoln Perry about himself and childhood best buddy, Ed Gradduck. Now, Gradduck's dead. Perry feels guilty, and he and partner, Joe Pritchard, labor to untangle a complicated series of crimes stretching back twenty years.As in TONIGHT I SAID GOODBYE, Koryta's prose is elegant in its simplicity and the dialogue hums. The characters continue techni-colorful. The story, despite its density, holds together very neatly.All in all, it's a better book than TONIGHT I SAID GOODBYE. A must read for Koryta fans--indeed for any devotee of crime genre fiction.
