This is like reading a Dashiell Hammett detective novel. He drinks, he smokes, he is a smart alek. But he has a softer side, and he admits he isn't all that macho.In this novel, like any good detective story, the facts don't always unravel the way they appear to be knitted. Stanley is hired to find a black mailer but ends up trying to clear his client of murder. A personal problem keeps getting in his way - his sisters stalker.Amusing, likeable characters, well written so it is easy to forgive the predictability.
