Summary: A Hard-Driving Boss
Comment: DEAD SKIP is the first book about the Daniel Kearny Associates (DKA) agency. Kearny is a superman with a massive jaw, flat nose and a mountain of determination. He is a hard-driving boss and a mentor for a crew of mostly younger agents who mature noticeably throughout the series. DEAD SKIP is one of the better DKA mysteries by Joe Gores.
Rating: 4
Summary: 1972 Bay Area Private Eye investigation
Comment: When one of their co-workers almost dies in a suspicious car accident, the guys at the detective agency go through his files trying to figure out who pushed the car over the cliff. In this sense, this is typical, if not classic, PI fiction.
So why read this book? I read it because a critic named Gardner named it one of the best dectective books of the 20th Century. I'm not sure if I'd go that far but it's a solid read. There are plenty of red herrings and a curve ball ending. It's also a bit of a time capsule. Readers with ties to the East Bay will enjoy the jaunts into cities rarely seen in fiction (Castro Valley and Concord).
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent
Comment: This book was really hard to put. It's a shame that is no longer available. The writing is fast, excellent and intelligent. I really loved this book.
