This does not begin to compare with Thayer's "Killer in a Box." I do not know how an author who could write such a good novel as "Killer" would be satisfied with "Red Mountain." At best, it is a first draft with some potential. But not much. His main character is not likeable, is a police detective who readily bends the rules and blinks at the law, and when DiPino finally comes in (chapter 16) he is relegated to a minor role.The back story does not fit with what was revealed about these characters in "Killer." And that is annoying if not sloppy.
