Finished Tu 2/22/11
This novel has nowhere near the visceral punch of Don Winslow's, SAVAGES. Neal Carey is asked by PI pal, Joe Graham, to go to Las Vegas and bring an aging vaudevillian comedian, Natty Silver, back to his condo in Palm Springs. Turns out that the crafty old geezer has witnessed a mob arson job, and is kind of on the run. Lightweight jollification and hijinks ensue, yet not nearly as effective as any of Donald E. Westlake's Dortmunder novels.
