Title: Not bad - a pretty good story but too many flaws.
Review: The storyline for this novel has potential, however, I wasn't thrilled by the way it was delivered. The dialogue contains cliches and "clever" one-liners - I felt that the basic story was intriguing enough to deserve better dialogue. The revelation of the originator of the three-quarters scam was utterly predictable, as were many of the plot twists. Bobby's daughter, Maggie, was a sweet addition, but completely unbelievable as an adolescent computer hacker. No one could be that intuitive and well-adjusted. It was somewhat difficult to keep track of the ancillary characters thrown in here and there, for what seemed to be an effort to lend depth to the pension scam. These underdeveloped characters only succeeded in providing additional opportunity for sometimes tiresome vulgarity. It's unfortunate that the predictable plot and weak dialogue tarnished what could have been a fun mystery novel.
