About This Item
New York: Bantam Books, 1998. First Printing . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. An attractive collectible book by this Shamus Award-winning author. Presented in a mylar protective cover. Cecil Younger is hired to investigate suspicious goings-on aboard a luxury cruise liner. It seems that passengers, all members of a group that books cruises for the terminally ill, keep turning up dead. Straley keeps the proceedings pretty lively--Cecil is a fast-talking, funny narrator in the Fletch mold, and the mystery is genuinely mysterious. Straley's exploration of the notion of assisted suicide imparts a real sense of the complexity, and emotion, of the subject. Readers who like their mysteries laced with a little social commentary will enjoy this excellent novel as will those looking for a fast-paced thriller. --David Pitt, Booklist.
