"Interesting novel, my first book by the author and an enjoyable read. I personally enjoyed the story better from the hitmans perspective & couldn't really warm to the chasing Justice agent.. I would give 3.5 stars and will look up further books by the author.."
"A very enjoyable, fast-based thriller. Perry does an excellent job of fleshing out the characters and even makes you root for a contract killer. I also surprised at how well the book has held up. It was written in the early 80s, and while the technology is obviously dated, I didn't find it detracting very much from the story.
I will definitely be reading more of this author."
"Story about a smart hit man and the woman from the Justice Dept. trying to uncover the crimes behind the pattern of murders. The narrative jumps in places, which is a bit disconcerting and exciting at the same time. Well written, though slightly dated for today's high tech world."
"This is Thomas Perry's first book. I like it because part of it is set in Buffalo (yes, i'm very weird, but I lived in Buffalo for two years, and i think it's a trip that the book contains the line "I wonder if you could tell me how to get to the Albright Knox Art Museum?"
Perry has these terse, wry sardonic descriptions of various things in about a paragaph, and his books usually involve some aspect of deception, cat and mouse."
