It's been hard to for him to differ from the formula he set
in the first, VANISHING ACT, but he does weave in an
interesting Iroquis background well. I wish he would totally
domesticate or kill off Jane so he could write more books
like BUTCHER'S BOY, but the series is not bad. >>
I really enjoy this series myself, find them very suspenseful
with cinematic setpieces. Perry's follow up to The Butcher's
Boy- SLEEPING DOGS is excellent too. I read METZGER'S DOG a
long time ago and didn't care for it. I'm glad I later gave
Perry a second chance.
