نقد و بررسی
In this picaresque novel, Alan Grofield is our good "bad guy," part-time actor and part-time thief, who has agreed to go to Puerto Rico to do a job as payback to someone he owes. An instant antipathy for the woman who wants his protection results in his refusal but, when she is found dead only hours later and he is accused of committing the murder, he has no choice but to solve the case. Michael Kramer narrates with voices that aptly fit each character. Richard Stark's (Donald Westlake) dry humor is fully realized, and the story moves along at a good tempo. S.S.R.

Written by Donald E. Westlake under the pen name Richard Stark, this classic crime novel follows hot-blooded actor Alan Grofield (an associate of Stark’s more famous protagonist Parker) to Puerto Rico, where he must look after a wealthy woman and solve a mystery. R.C. Bray reads in a stern, cold, and gritty tone that fits perfectly with the tale’s dark overtones. His delivery is fast and sharp, coming at you like a freight train that forces you to either hop on board or jump out of the way. Luckily, Bray makes it easy to jump on board, and the numerous twists and turns that pop up along the way only serve to further engage listeners. And, Bray’s character interpretations are simple, understated, and realistic. A definite must for Stark fans. A University Of Chicago paperback.
