5.0 out of 5 stars Crime-novel buffs will love this one., March 29, 2010

This review is from: The Greer Agency (Paperback)
Good news for readers of detective fiction: There's a new sleuth in town, hanging out at the greasy spoon, dishing up sardonic wisecracks, flirting with the gum-popping waitress, poking his inquisitive nose into a thoroughly entertaining series of noir schemes. Morgan Greer tells us he's no great detective, just a small-town hack. But as this thoroughly engaging story unfolds, one local sleazeball after another discovers that Greer's a lot better than he thinks. Greer and his creator, Harris Tobias, are savvy players in one of American literature's classic genres.
