Simeon Grist, in his fifth outing, fights the good fight, of course.Simeon is asked to help save the life of an aging homosexual, someone who doesn't think their life is in danger.  Unfortunately, the victim-to-be proves to be mistaken, and Simeon is soon entangled in the police investigation and the attempt to track down the killer before any more people die.  Written in the early 1990s, this book still reads very fresh, even with the large changes in society's attitude about gay issues over the past 20 years.  The book is filled with living, breathing, FASCINATING characters, and they will carry you through the story effortlessly.This is the last of the Simeon Grist books to appear in e-book format, and I'm very sorry to see them come to an end, as Simeon and friends have become dear companions over the course of six books.  I wish there were more!There are currently six books in the series.  They don't NEED to be read in order, but some characters' story-lines do carry over from book to book.  The order in which they were written is:1) Skin Deep2) The Four Last Things3) Everything But The Squeal4) Incinerator5) The Bone Polisher6) The Man With No TimeAn excellent hard-boiled detective series!
