This review is from: Squeeze Play: A Novel (Hardcover)

Whatever you do, you've gotta read this book! It was absolutely pure pleasure, so much fun that when I finished I wanted to start it all over again! You'll thoroughly enjoy every one of the characters and revel in getting to know them better as you read through the book. Each one is a true gem, and their actions and interactions will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages!! And if you like mystery.... Well, I'll bet you'll never guess how this one is going to come out! It's a real winner, and Kaiser just keeps getting better and better! Do yourself a favor and DON'T MISS THIS BOOK!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars great suspense thriller, September 14, 2002

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Squeeze Play: A Novel (Hardcover)

Former San Francisco cop Nick Sasso is in self-exile across the continent after apparently screwing up an investigation. Nick opened up a Manhattan restaurant that has just taken off. Currently he is watching a Yankee-Red Sox game at the Stadium when his girlfriend Bree Davis calls the restaurant to see how things are going after a tremendous review in the paper. Though the restaurant is doing great, Nick learns he got a call from his estranged father's accountant that something is wrong with the books of the family business now run by brother Joe, who rumors fly is near bankruptcy.

Nick returns to the Bay only to find Joe murdered. Though he knows he should allow the police led by his ex-partner to investigate, Nick refuses to sit on the sidelines. He makes inquiries that upset a lot more people than just the SFPD as he begins to uncover something more sinister and conspiratorial than just some falling out over debts.

SQUEEZE PLAY is a great suspense thriller that works on several levels due a strong cast. Nick is the focus of the tale with his ill-accepted investigation, but the secondary characters turn the action-packed plot into a game-winning walk off home run as they provide depth to the story line and the lead protagonist. However, the support crew is not just benchwarmers as they seem so real; they are the fielders that enable R.J. Kaiser to pitch a near perfect game that rivals that of Don Larson.
