It's nice to see that Robert McCammon STILL has it! I very much enjoyed this novel. There is so much to recommend it. The flow and the pace were remarkably smooth with a building of tension in the second half that had me on the edge of my seat at times. The character of Ginger is such a classic example of femme fatale with emphasis on the fatale! The heroism and the truly humble soul of Curtis was a great counterpart to the psychopaths in the story. And, for anyone who has read Robert McCammon's brilliant masterpiece Boy's Life you'll also be pleased to know that there are two characters from that novel who make a cameo appearance in this novel. You'll have to read the novel to find out whom.
