I just finished Strip with a library copy. The Kindle edition was $14.30 which is about what you could buy the hardback for. What’s up with the prices of the ebooks?  Libraries are free, thank you very much.<\/p>\n

Anyway this a great book. It has several strong but dangerous characters: Manco Kapak, a strip club owner who has been getting robbed repeatedly and is determined to do something about it, Spence, Kapak’s right hand man who has been assigned the task of getting rid of the robber, Joe Carver, a wealthy homeless guy who is the prime suspect but is innocent but is no guy to mess with, Nick Slosser, a bigamous police lieutenant  who has a big problem on the horizon. Perry sets all these, and a host of other characters up and then sends them crashing into each other. This is a book about setups and double crosses and double double crosses.<\/p>\n

It reminds me of the old acts on television where the guy sets a bunch of plates spinning on rods. Well that is is what Perry does in this book. Then he sets the puts the the rods in motion also with chaotic results. This is a totally satisfying read if you like crime\/thriller type books. It gets four stars out of four. Go to your local library and get a copy. Save yourself some bucks, send a message to the publisher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
