Manny & the gang are back. Are they tracking down the late Dr. Argyle or a copycat? Is the murderous doctor still alive? I've read all of Mr. Murcer's Manny Williams novels. The premise is pretty much the same. The protagonists, though mostly the same, change somewhat from book to book as their personal lives evolve. The reader begins to almost feel a part of the crew.The antagonist here is as brutal as in previous novels' bad guys. The story unfolds nicely. The novel has it's share of twists and surprises.The ending is fine. I doubt if most readers will figure out the antagonist prior to the revelation.The last chapter actually serves as the epilogue. It adds to the personal side of the crew. But, being the story is over, the last chapter is really a weak link. Some epilogues are very good. I'm not sure this one was necessary.
