About this listen

Travis things he's in for a quiet summer until a walking zombie of a man, Arthur Wilkinson, stumbles aboard The Busted Flush. He's the latest victim of a fragile-looking blond sexpot who uses the blackest arts of love to lure unsuspecting suckers into a web of sordid schemes. Gone, suddenly, are the lazy, hazy days of summer as Travis becomes embroiled in one of the most dangerous, dirtiest cases of his career.

Underrated Classics!

Narrator does a good job of rendering the sixties / seventies zeitgeist. The stories have always been brilliant, which is why authors like Kurt Vonnegut and John Sandford praise JDMcD in their own work. The last in the series is probably the best, if only because one knows it is the last.
