Los Angeles, 1946. It was ex-OSS man Minor Jackson who finally pulled the drowning dwarf out of the actor's swimming pool. It was also the start of a relationship that would pitch him into a post-war whirlpool of corruption and murder.
No one before or since has has written a ' caper' like Ross Thomas. He has never written a bad sentence or a dull paragraph. All his books are immensely entertaining, hard to find believe it or not. I see Briarpatch has been made into a TV series so hopefully there is a resurgence in the availability of his stories.
