Shannon, John

A disarmingly honest view of a storied career in Canadian sports broadcasting. Will likely appeal to hockey fans, particularly those who share Shannon’s feelings for Hockey Night in Canada.

California PI Jack Liffey (On the Nickel) isn't searching for a missing child this time, but his travels are just as earnest...

A young adult plot set in a very gritty and brutal locale interspersed with news clips detailing the political turmoil of homelessness in Los Angeles and very unrealistic teenage dialog make this a confusing addition to Shannon's (Terminal Island; Concrete River) well-received neonoir series. Shannon's anger and frustration with the city's management of poverty and homelessness are clearly the point of this book, and it unfortunately overshadows the plot. Not recommended.
