Chasing the Dime
Well, folks, Mike "Nano-"Connelly has done it again! I'm beginning to think
that he's some mutated, very advanced form of super-ingenious plot-creating
entity, previously unknown to the world of genre fiction, and, dare I say it?
yes! LITERATURE in all caps. (I can say whatever I want about him now, you
see, since he shot me right between the eyes--fortunately, I survived . . .
or did I? Perhaps this is really Mike Connelly writing this little bit of
advertising copy, pretending to be one Denny Ray McMillan, late of Wichita,
Kansas and points (mainly) west. . . . In any event, or (alternate) reality
(if you prefer), Chasing the Dime is, once again, just a tremendously
inventive, technologically cutting-edge, and entertaining book, the like of
which he's never done before, in this particular way, but which it seems like
he pulls forth from deep and teeming creative depths (gotta get that fishing
image in there, you know), somehow, every time he writes a novel. Is the
man's capacity for coming up with incredibly thought-provoking but
simultaneously emotionally engaging stories limitless? I think, after reading
M. Connelly for the past 10 years, and being acquainted with him for almost
as long, the answer is "yes!" And we can all be very happy that it is. I
don't want to give anything away, plot-wise, and ruin or dilute the
experience of reading Chasing the Dime for anybody perusing this small bit of
copy, so I'll just say, "He's done it again, and thank you, Mike!"
