===From: Clockwork Orange
Pick a RAMmer (including yourself): Keith Snyder
Pick a crime: revenge to be obtained
Pick a set of characters: Travis McGee & Meyer
Pick a setting: South Florida harbor, duh
Pick an author: Karin Slaughter
BONUS POINTS: Write the book jacket copy for the book.
In this departure from Slaughter's rural Georgia series, she instead revives
John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee. Along with his old pal Meyer, McGee meets
Keith Snyder, an irreverent pool shark from Sausalito with revenge on his mind.
It seems Snyder needs McGee to help him find his old girlfriend, long thought
dead -- until Snyder's favorite pool cue turns up missing and he recieves an
e-mail from his dearly departed saying she'll REALLY be dead if he doesn't go in
the tank at the upcoming World Billiards Championships in Las Vegas, which
points to Snyder's old-time hated rival, who's still ticked off at getting beat
three years in a row. One clue leads to another and McGee ends up in Vegas,
looking at four hearts, hoping to fill a flush that will prevent murder.
