Review: Suspense - Loyalty - History - GREAT!
Rating: 5 out of 5

My American History grades would have been much better if the books were written like "Play Him Again". If you enjoy a well-written, suspense-filled story seasoned with actual historical facts and events then this novel's for you.Author Jeffery Stone lays out a character-driven story filled with perfect dialogue and pace, friendship, loyalty, and interesting information about many topics. We hear about the Roaring 20's without actually delving deeper into what made them 'roar'. Stone will weave history and personalities into this page-turner and I guarantee the reader will come away with more knowledge of those times, and a main character, Hudson (Hud), who won't be forgotten for a long while.Like a skilled chef prepares a delicious soup, Stone also blends bootlegging, con games (stings), Hollywood, silent films, real actors and actresses, murder, payback, and true friendship to tell his interesting story...and tops it off with a tense and excellent ending.I highly recommend "Play Him Again", Stone's debut novel. I have no doubt the sequel will also be top-shelf. "Thank you, Jeffery, for an enjoyable read. Keep writin' and smilin'...."LeeCarey-author.com
