"Unlike too many other fictional PI's, Fiddler has aged well. . . . The plots are well-hewn, the dialogue crackling, the bad guys among the very baddest. . . . From the yachty Newport crowd and the oenophiles of Napa to the dream-seeking denizens of L.A., Maxwell's books provide a sort of literary amber, capturing the scene and saving it for posterity."--Bob Morris "One of the most interesting and engaging private eyes since Robert Parker's Spenser."--Advertising Age "Excellent characterization and dialogue...action-packed and thrilling...The book has aged remarkably well, with issues such as illegal immigration and terrorism that could have been ripped from today's headlines. Busted Flush has done the crime fiction world a real favor by finding forgotten gems such as this and reprinting them."--Maddy Van Hertbruggen, Reviewing the Evidence The second Fiddler and Fiora thriller, back in print. A Jewish Iranian friend of Fiddler's is being blackmailed by terrorists and needs Fiddler's help.
