You might enjoy Infamous based on the kidnapping of an Oklahoma oil baron by Machine Gun Kelly. I was a big Spenser fan until Parker started writing short books that he appeared to phone in, which his publisher filled out with wide margins and larger than normal type. Atkins did a good job with Lullaby and I'll read his next Spenser novel.Kent Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834261948994921554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-30571326657800297472012-11-09T13:40:13.416-06:002012-11-09T13:40:13.416-06:00Thanks Walker; my mistake.
