Crashed (A Junior Bender Mystery Book 1)
Hallinan, author of the Simeon Grist and Poke Rafferty series, introduces a new hero: Junior Bender, a career crook (burglar, to be precise) who, after the reasonably successful conclusion of an especially danger-fraught job, is blackmailed by a disreputable cop into helping one of Los Angeles’ most notorious crime bosses with a little problem. It seems she’s trying to take her family’s operations legit, and she needs a quick cash infusion, so she’s found a once-beloved child star, Thistle Downing, and enticed her into performing in a trilogy of hard-core pornographic movies. But someone’s trying to sabotage the films, and she wants Bender to find out who. If you read this book without a smile on your face, you’re not reading it right. Bender, who narrates the story in the first-person, is a charming and immensely likable guy, the master of the wisecrack. Sure, he’s a crook, but he never steals from people who can’t afford it, and he’s got a moral center that’s stronger than that of most of the people around him. The story is well designed and well told (Hallinan doesn’t over-rely on out-of-left-field plot twists), and the dialogue sparkles. In a genre perhaps slightly overstuffed with crook-heroes, the book is like a breath of fresh air. --David PittCrashed (A Junior Bender Mystery Book 1)
