Everything Gene ONeill writes is excellent. Good to see Double Jack come together as a trilogy with the others in the series.

Great book. This author Gene O’Neill has been writing for a long time and Ive read his books before.

This book has this excellent throwback feel to the pulp hardboiled stories, and I love the use of the comic strips between stories along with the crime notes. Great stuff!

This was an interesting little novella of two reoccurring characters from Gene O'Neill, the homicide detectives Katy Green and Johnny Cato nicknamed 'The Green Hornet and Kato' by the local press. What we have here is a serial killer that is attacking and killing women on the local freeways outside Sacramento. We get the perspectives from the victims, the detectives, and from the killer himself which helps round out what is happening from each character point of view. This was a fast passed and entertaining read which I read in one day. So it gets props for catching and holding my interest, but it is just a standard crime story and I wouldn't say there was anything spectacular about this tale, but I still enjoyed the read.

Fun, gritty read, throwback-retro nod to pulp hardboiled stories. Detective thriller searching for an evil serial killer.
