Reader Reviews 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: A welcome breather after CRIMSON JOY, January 30, 2003 Reviewer: Neal Clark Reynolds from E. Taunton, MA United States This is a bit of a relief after the very intense predecesser. Here, you're dealing primarily with point shaving in college basketball, not with serial murderers. However, as usual in a Spenser novel, there's more here than just the primary plot. There's insight into racial relations, a theme that Parker explores deeper in the later PASTIME. There's also the very human theme concerning dealing with a person who's abilities you admire, but who is an insufferable so-and-so. It's a typical fast read and yet leaves you with a feeling that you've picked up something of value from the reading.
