I read one book in this series because so many people talk it
up, but I was put off by the psychotic buddie that helped the
protagonist by beating up the problem. Sort of more violent
than the typical story line I object to in Parker, but
without the whiff of racism (and no Susan! and no gourmet
cooking!).
Otherwise, I liked the book. The
premise is adaptable, and it's realistic from what I know of
the sports agent business. The writing was competent.
I think I'll try this one for the
setting and see if I just picked a bad one in the series for
my first and last. Thanks for the tip, Mark.
