His thrillers are different than the typical in the 1980s and 90s--many were seemingly marketed in the vein of a Tom Clancy thriller, but they are anything but...the characters are sharper, the prose is smoother, and the plotlines are quicker and tend to the unexpected. And there is always humor.<br /><br />I also enjoy his TRACE novels. I first discovered them in Randisi's First Cases series. I think it was the fourth installment, and I immediately went on a hunt for the novels. I need to dig a few out of boxes and read 'em.Ben Bouldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16024782701164448300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28085999.post-71738014880543939292009-07-17T09:17:42.393-06:002009-07-17T09:17:42.393-06:00Great review, Ben.

He had a great run at the top--huge sales and several Edgars.Ed Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126267358266480356noreply@blogger.com
