I read this last once in one sitting. One of the best debuts of the year and
very entertaining. All of the elements you eluded to are there and more.....

Subject: RARA-AVIS: John Rector's THE COLD KISS...
Getting ready to place an Amazon order for Dave's CARETAKER OF LORNE FIELD
(since my local Borders decided not to stock it.grumble, grumble), and
thought I'd throw in a few other books.
One I'm considering is John Rector's THE COLD KISS. It's had comparisons to
John Ridley, John Crumley, Jim Thompson (THE GETAWAY), Scott Smith (A SIMPLE
PLAN), and Ed Gorman. And since it takes place in a rundown motel -- and I
can never get enough Motel Noir T -- I'm thinking this is a must-have.
Has anyone here read it? Thoughts?
Ron C.
