The concept of this book is pretty fun... a group of actor/thieves that cover their robberies with their performances, but it doesn't really make sense. It shouldn't take too long to connect things. And it didn't.. alot of the book is about an extremely generic train robbing outfit that our main characters come across, and the Pinkerton detective that figures out their game.

Estleman's writing is far better in the Page Murdoch books I've read... here he goes to 3rd person, and gets way to descriptive for ordinary things that don't need describing. The detective was quite fun though, and the characters all unique and interesting.. this COULD have been an excellent book, it just didn't quite pan out (alot like the actual plot, really).
