Dead Skip by Joe Gores

2.0

1.5 stars. Dead boring. I read this only because it shared a chapter with the Parker novel [b:Plunder Squad|596673|Plunder Squad (Parker, #15)|Richard Stark|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1382387489l/596673._SY75_.jpg|3830]. And that chapter is the only interesting thing in this novel. It’s exactly as advertised: the very same incident from the perspective of Kearny rather than Parker. The rest of the novel is a dull detective procedural involving a repo firm investigating an employee’s assault. I felt no compelling interest in the crime, the characters, the plot, or the investigation beyond the brief connection with the world of Parker in one chapter.
