I like Harry Rane and this is a pretty good book. It has the feel of an Elmore Leonard story but more hard boiled.
The story is about violent people but the violence is graphic and seems gratuitous. There is a vicious dog fight scene that is totally unnecessary.
Also everyone in the book expresses the exact same philosophy of life.

Good enough, I guess. This felt like more of an Elmore Leonard homage than the other Stroby books I've read. The baddie is smart and mostly stays ahead of our hero. I do love the feel of these kind of mass market paperbacks in my hands, but this was also kinda forgettable.
