Michael Z. Lewin was caled "fast, funny, and brilliant" by private eye fiction legend Ross Macdonald, and Lewin's detective creation Albert Samsom is "the best private eye who has been around in many a day," according to the Los Angeles Times. Now, Mysterious Press ushers Lewin back into the limelight with Called By a Panther.
Midwest detective Albert Samson, who is full of witty comments, slides into apparent crass materialism when he stages a mystery murder for a wealthy woman's guests. Back at his office, a group of disguised women, who plant disconnected bombs for environmentalist publicity, pay him to locate a stolen bomb. No one wants anyone hurt, and Samson, not particularly macho, hates confrontation, so the plot proceeds with lots of humor. This was a witty, sarcastic & very funny mystery. Quite enjoyable & I'd like to read more of this author's books.
