A review by thebeardedpoet
Bright Orange for the Shroud by John D. MacDonald

5.0

McGee works on "commission" to recover things for people. In this one, an acquaintance has been conned out of everything thing he had (and within an inch of his life), and McGee sets out to recover what he can. The villain of this book is one scary dude with a number of surprises up his slippery sleeve. Of course, McGee has his own set of tricks. Additionally he has two assistants with him who rise to the occasion. The book has it's share of gruesome events and violence. Christi and I found it quite suspenseful. We also enjoyed again McGee's waxing poetic and philosophical about love, violence, and human nature.
