I just finished this one myself and I have to say that it was
better than the previous two, In fact, I thought I, the Jury
was pure shit, but the character of Hammer propelled me to
the next one, My Gun is Quick, which was a hell of a lot
better.
Right now I'm reading my first McGivern novel, The Big Heat,
which to my surprise, is set in Philadelphia. I'd never read
anything outside of Goodis set in Philly. Since I lived ten
years there I know the lay of the land, so I can follow
Bannion in my head as he drives all over the city.
