Now, righteous rhetoric, on both sides, of the issue, is not enough to sustain interest in a novel. So there’s a kidnapping by a bad Hungarian actor, an array of colorful characters, an FBI on the scent of the wrong trail, the “Mod Squad” — the Merchants-of-Death squad, that is — and a nifty little mystery for those who just want to be supremely entertained. I mean, if that’s your thing.
That is my thing, but first I’m going to crawl out in the freezing cold on to a narrow 20th-story building ledge that makes up the smoking section where I am. Not because I smoke, mind you — but because the company is often better.
