'Fraid I'm not too much of an authority when it comes to
Nisbet. I've only read one or two -- the only one that comes
instantly to mind is his Black Lizard title, THE DAMNED DON'T
DIE -- and, frankly, I don't remember much about them, other
than a general sense that they were satisfactory reads. The
thing that caught my attention on this one was the plot
synopsis (from a Poisoned Pen Bookstore catalogue) sounds
straight out of a Gold Medal...and since Nisbet had been
previously published by Black Lizard, and the publisher this
time around was McMillan and it had that aforementioned Gold
Medal vibe...well, it just felt like all the stars were
aligning right on this one.
Since the McMillan site is still down and thus I can't get
any more info on it, perhaps I'll just have to throw caution
to the wind and take my chances and order the thing from
Poisoned Pen.
