Title: Some Things Are Better Frozen
Review: and Evan Tanner's one of them. Why, why, did he come back? And why, why did I try reading him again? Well, because Lawrence Block is so good I can never really believe he writes these. And this one is especially bad. Plot: Thawed agent sent to Burma by aging "control" to assasinate popular leader. Meets suspicious British fellow who tries to lure him to tea. No, Tanner has a mission. Finds the street where popular leader lives and (surprise!)soldiers are there telling him he can't visit. Oh well, let's leave that then and get to the guest house to discover alcoholic love interest. Find mysterious dead man in bed (who was he, anyway?) and suspiciously heavy pack. Ah ha! Arrested and thrown in jail. Guard leaves door open and he escapes, to meet love interest and walk across Burma.Get the picture? A real loser.
