This is a spy novel, but it does not read as genre fiction. It is less flashy and feels more authentic than the excellent The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, the novel that immediately preceded it. It's actually a rather damning portrait of British intelligence agencies. In fact, if you come to this book looking for a fast-paced thriller, you will be disappointed until maybe the last quarter of the book. When I closed the book on the last page, though, I had that buzzing in my head I get from finishing a good book. These characters will stay with me.

I read this novel years ago, and it left a big impression on me. Rereading it now, I am somewhat surprised to find that it is just as good if not better than I remember it being. The novel tells the story of a group of men involved in a Jersey City crime family, sort of a more sordid version of The Godfather. It is very gritty and quite brutal, but I hesitate to call it a crime novel because its ambitions are much greater. This is a penetrating look into the lives and motivations of these men that transcends the usual gangster cliches. Stephen King called it a novel about the dark side of the American dream, and I agree.

Spenser is super cool, but, especially in this one, I am sometimes skeptical of his detecting skills. I was way ahead of him most of the time.

Yet another excellent Elmore Leonard novel. This one is a meta noir. A former Secret Service agent turned street photographer gets involved with an aging but still beautiful (of course!) noir actress who may or may not be a real life femme fatale. It has the colorful characters and note-perfect dialogue for which Leonard is famous. I also love the way he evokes South Beach, Miami. The neighborhood is like another character.
