Lardo's writing style has taken a nose-dive with this one. This time the criminal element involves a large drug ring that involves our hero Michael Reo (now a film producer) through his connection with 'the jock-strap murder'. Lardo seems obsessed by glamour and never fails to tell us what his characters are wearing, which would be more interesting if it was not always 'summer slacks and a polo shirt'. Diverting.
