Review:
Bert Swain is the most reluctant of detectives: the public relations director for a New York-based medical research center is divorced, fast approaching 50, and hates the limelight with a passion. But when he's pressured into taking on some undercover sleuthing for an ecological think tank, Swain does just fine--using his own very believable strengths to solve an interesting murder. Paul Nathan's gently understated skills as a writer of fiction are perfectly suited to his hero's style.
