HOT PLASTIC A Novel

“Rolling past ragged palm trees, squat motels, billboards between the frets of power lines, he wondered if blood loss could trigger a déjà vu--for either he had traced this route years ago, or he’d dreamed that he would die like this . . . with a useless gun, a phony badge, and his partner riding the clutch.” This thriller gets you by the throat. There’s more genuine information about cons than is required for nonfiction, more suspense than is required in fiction. Stephen Hoye’s the perfect reader for this near-perfect book. His virtuosity is displayed by his invisibility. He’s the woman in the triangle. He’s the father and the son. He’s everybody; he’s nobody. Great book! Great performance! B.H.C.
