In this picaresque novel, Alan Grofield is our good "bad guy," part-time actor and part-time thief, who has agreed to go to Puerto Rico to do a job as payback to someone he owes. An instant antipathy for the woman who wants his protection results in his refusal but, when she is found dead only hours later and he is accused of committing the murder, he has no choice but to solve the case. Michael Kramer narrates with voices that aptly fit each character. Richard Stark's (Donald Westlake) dry humor is fully realized, and the story moves along at a good tempo.
