A lying, cheating, vile sleazeball of a man, cunning as a fox and a very average novelist. To put money in the pockets of this ne'er-do-well is reprehensible, in my opinion.
I loved his series 'Clifton Chronicles'. Stopped reading his books when he went to prison, but a friend recommended the CC and I couldn't put them down. He does spin a good yarn. Will get the new one from the library - not paying full price for a hardback!
