It's everyday business when Wattles, the San Fernando Valley's top "executive crook", sets up a hit. He establishes a chain of criminals to pass along the instructions and the money, thereby ensuring that the hitter doesn't know who hired him. Then one day Wattles finds his office safe open and a single item missing: the piece of paper listing the crooks in the chain. When people associated with the chain begin to pop up dead, the only person Wattles can turn to for help is Junior Bender, professional burglar and begrudging private eye for crooks.

But Junior already knows exactly who took Wattles' list; the signature is obvious. It was Herbie Mott, Junior's burglar mentor and second father - but when Junior seeks him out to discuss the matter, he finds him very unpleasantly murdered. Junior follows the links in the chain back toward the killer, and as he does, he learns disturbing things about Herbie's hidden past. Just how much of the life he's lived for the past 20 years has been of his own making, and how much of it was actually Herbie's game?

Another great story, not my favourite at first, but definitely regained pace at the end. The ending was beautiful & poignant.

Another smasher!

I’m definitely becoming a fan of Timothy Hallinan, after listening to this and another of his books, both read by this excellent narrator.

The author reminds me of Damon Runyon in his eye for the demi monde and excellent detail in his world-building, with a side helping of classic noir. He keeps the story trotting along at a good pace with dodgy characters that you actually care about (no mean feat when it’s killers, con-men and thieves!), some very skilfully placed plot devices, and really snappy dialogue.

As I’ve said, the narrator is excellent and really brings the book to life - he gets 5stars on his own as far as I’m concerned…!

This book is very entertaining and you’re in the safe hands of an excellent author - I’m really glad to have discovered him, and look forward to all the others.

A new fan here…
