Reviews

"A keen voice, profound insight...devilishly entertaining."

"Deceptively smooth, like a vanilla milkshake spiked with grain alcohol."

And for the television series: "Cheerfully insouciant."

Featuring a hero who's "handsome, smart, neurotic, tough, funny, sensitive... Jim Rockford and MacGyver filtered through Carl Hiassen."
