A review by vkemp
Ghostman by Roger Hobbs

4.0

For a debut novel,this was a humdinger. A heist goes terribly wrong in Atlantic City and the person who put the heist together,the jugmarker, calls in a specialist, a ghostman. This particular ghostman owes the jugmarker a big favor. And, two stories develop in parallel: how the ghostman came to owe the jugmarker a favor because of a past mistake and how, in present-day, the ghostman attempts to pay off his debt. There were some lame spots, which is the reason for four stars, not five. The action was extraordinary and passages read like a "how-to" for criminals. I look forward to seeing how Hobbs progresses as a writer.
