Harry Shannon's Mick Callahan is one of those truly great characters, like John D. McDonald's Travis McGee and Ross Macdonald's Lew Archer, who is greater than the sum of his parts - one that thoroughly captivates the reader. Pick any of the three self-contained novels in this collection and begin reading, and you'll be completely hooked within the first five pages. These three novels are among the most entertaining I've read in many years and prove that Mick is a worthy successor to both Travis and Lew.This collection offers great monetary value and fantastic entertainment worth. Harry Shannon is a remarkably gifted author and the three novels collected are all top notch and a truly addictive treat. Mick Callahan is most definitely a hero/anti-hero who's perfect for America in the initial decades of the 21st century, and whose appeal will prove universal, like all of the finest of literary creations. This collection receives my highest possible recommendation.
