Bill, I like the "Oliver Bleeck" series about go-between
Philip St. Ives and NO QUESTIONS ASKED is one of the best. It
was one of my recent reads and I found it had the great
characters and good dialog expected in anything by Ross
Thomas. It also had fewer of the faults found in his longer
novels. St Ives is a bit more human in QUESTION. While I
enjoy the series, St. Ives is a bit too detached and
indistinct to rank most of the entries with Thomas' top work.
It has been years since I read THE HIGH BINDERS but my memory
is that it is not one of the better Bleecks. Another very
good one is THE PROCANE CHRONICLE, although a few of the plot
twists are difficult to swallow.
