Customer Reviews

Another winner from one of America's story-telling gems.

Hensley and Townsend have crafted a tightly conceived story that will appeal to anyone who has ever looked carefully at the money they handle daily. It will appeal even more to those who've set foot inside of a coin shop or coin show. The hero is a former star gymnast and drunken lawyer, now on his way back to a sober life as a PI and part-time coin dealer. The strongest features of this tale are the characters, perhaps brought to life by the authors and perhaps only remembered from their trips into the world of numismatics. The authors have a way of letting you figure out whom to suspect and why, only to have the hero shoot down that idea in the next chapter. The weakest part of the book is the lack of a surprise ending and a hard to believe reason for wanting to take out the hero in chapter one. Try it, you'll like it.
