From Publishers Weekly
Former CIA "fixer" Steadfast Haynes dies in Washington, D.C., leaving his memoirs to his son Granville, an ex-L.A. homicide investigator. Granny finds that the manuscript is mostly blank pages and is soon faced with the murders of both his father's lover and a CIA retiree. According to PW , "Thomas is at his best here with an intricate, riveting plot and a fine dry humor."

From Library Journal
Secret CIA veteran Steady Haynes's legacy to his son Granville turns out to be more trouble than it's worth. When Granville, a Los Angeles homicide detective turned actor, receives an offer of $100,000 for the rights to his father's memoirs he decides to see how high the bidding will go, but a search for the memoirs leaves him wondering if they even exist. Joining him in his quest are McCorkle and Padillo, owners of a Washington bar and grill called Mac's Place; Ericka, McCorkle's daughter, provides romantic interludes. What begins as an intriguing and often amusing adventure ends with a thud, but Thomas ( Briarpatch, LJ 9/15/84) is a popular author, so expect demand.

Reader Reviews
When a former government agent, Steadfast Haynes, dies after telling everyone about a book he had written that would expose many top government agencies to past misdeeds the story just begins. When murder victims begin to appear and the thread that joins them is their connection to Steadfast Haynes the intrigue grows more intense. Steadfast Haynes' son Granville enters the picture and inherits a missing manuscript sized package. Granville brings in old friends of his father to help him determine what is really going on and who has the most to loose.As murder victims pile up and their common link is their connection to Steadfast Haynes, the plot becomes so intense it vibrates with it's own life. What secrets are so extreme that people are willing to commit murder to keep the information hidden? Written at a time of political upheaval and conspiracy theories, Ross Thomas breathes a soul into his tale. The twists and turns hit head-on, one after the other. His ability with dialect gives you the feeling that you are listening in to the real conversations. His characters are complex and alive. This is Ross Thomas at his best.
