From Publishers Weekly
These three detective tales may not have quite the panache of The Anderson Tapes or the Deadly Sin series, but each is suspenseful, well wrought and stamped with Sanders's special insight into the baser aspects of human nature. They feature Timothy Cone, "the Wall Street dick," who works for an investigative agency, has an affair going with his boss Samantha and, though unprepossessing in manner and appearance, feels driven to uncover the scams behind the glossy fronts of wealthy business; he can also smell a dummy corporation or a money-laundering operation a mile away. The files deal respectively with a murderous real-estate conglomerate, a fertility clinic devoted to considerably more than "original biotechnological research" and an investment house involved in drugsthough only detective work of the highest caliber can discover the seamy details. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternates.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: great stories, January 19, 2004 By  "truthandjustice" (USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Timothy Files (Hardcover) This book was written several years ago, but it still packs a punch. It contains three files or cases involving Timothy Cone, a private eye working for a company that investigates businesses for their clients. He is an interesting character---he lives very simply in a cheap apartment (his bed is a mattress on the floor) with a neutered tomcat named Cleo, is having an affair with his manager, which no one knows about and is a little unusual, in that the way they communicate with each other is more on the rude side than lovey-dovey side. It made for a rather entertaining story in itself and then the case files added along with it even more so. I really enjoyed the book!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
