    About this audiobook

    Every bloodthirsty hoodlum, every trigger-happy gunman in the state of California had that song on his lips. I didn't like it. I'm no music lover and, what's more, I was the rascal they were dying to kill. Me. Shell Scott. "Where there's death, there's hope" - that was gangdom's newest slogan. I was measured for a grave and I was supposed to share it with a gorgeous redhead named Coral. Man, this was just about the first time I haven't been willing to share something with a gorgeous redhead.

      Pretty good. Shell tends to relive the same incidents I hope not ad nauseum since this is just my third book but I am not optimistic. Being brutalized by gangsters, enticed by amazingly curvaceous chicks, mistreated by crooked or misguided small town police seem to fill his working day sometimes to the exclusion of a sensible and engaging plot. Actually I like his formula better than current authors because it is at least appealingly politically incorrect and lets some air into the room. Entertainment transcends cultures - ask Shakespeare.

      Shell Scott has to figure out who is blackmailing 3 Hollywood stars. The suspects are 2 rival gang bosses, each with his own deadly crew of killers (with names like Viper and Gangrene). Since this is a Shell Scott case, our hero finds himself sneaking a python into a hospital room, framed for the murder of one boss, and kidnapping the other boss from his bedroom. The reveal is done in a style copied and perfected by the Mission Impossible tv show. All in all, a pretty good story if you're a Scott fan.
