"Another from the same era as "Night Walker", the Hamilton book I just read. Instead of the communist menace, this one was a war time holdover from a bunch that worked in China after WWII.
The plot was pretty straight forward, but there were a lot of twists & turns getting there. The basis for them was a little contrived, but all in all it was a good book. There were some coincidences that stained the fabric a bit, but nothing too terrible.
"Fast, fun read that hits all the common denominators in the old crime novels, with a great little story and solid characters. This is not high literature, but who cares? If you just must engage in revenge...say it with bullets!"
"Bill Wayne is touring the country, conveniently stopping at cities where old partners of his live, trying to find out which of them shot him in the back years ago in China and took a shot at him in front of his house weeks before. His tour guide is a girl that had a crush on him when he was in high school. His old partners keep turning up dead and a sheriff named Carson Smith keeps showing up at inappropriate times.
The title of this book is what caught my interest a couple years ago. While it was good, I didn't love it. The action was good and parts were pretty funny but I'm not sure if the humor was intentional or not. Wayne's partners getting whacked got repetitive after the second one. The ending was a little predicatable but only because there weren't very many other possibilites.
So, Say It With Bullets was an entertaining read but not one of my favorite Hard Case books."
