I agree with Tapani and Juri on THE DEADLY HONEYMOON, though
it was several years since I read it so I don't recall if the
Swedish translation was to blame.
I thought THE SPECIALISTS was even worse, however. At
the time I read it, it struck me as being sort of like an
episode of THE A-TEAM (no, really) except with plenty of very
brutal violence and no humor (or entertainment value)
whatsoever.
OTOH, the three titles reprinted by Hard Case Crime are all
excellent.
At the moment I'm about three quarters into THE TRIUMPH OF
EVIL. So far, so good. That's a very bleak and ugly picture
of American society at the time
(1971) he paints there.
