I do not remember if I said already here something about
another novel by Gischler: GUN MONKEYS. If not already done,
I strongly suggest to Vicki to read it. In that one,
characters are also a bit over the top, but just enough to be
still credible "in the hard-boiled world of the noir/hb novel
of the fifties and later". It's tough, but speaks of tough
guys. So... Murder is part of the life of the central
character, who is not exactly an eagle for strategies but
unbeatable in the field. Humor is also there, but in its
darker form, even close to a certain cynicism. A real good
novel. (Only the last part is weaker as it repeats the same
patterns for the cascade of very violent events; but it's
really well written and this weakness is not an obstacle for
the reader who stays captivated by the intrigues).
