No Justice--#65 finished

A good quick read about a guy that owns a computer programming business that sounds like just him and his secretary/receptionist but he is also a vigilante assassin as well.  This is in Tampa, Florida area.  His wife as murdered and he had reached out to a guy to get vengeance and his sideline business took off.  He only takes jobs where the guy is a really bad person.  A hooker that became a friend when he was getting over his loss before it was getting too serious and he broke it off abruptly, is now needing help.  She was being threatened by a local gang leader and he agrees to help out.  It moves beyond just this one guy to where he has to take out the whole gang & then a group of child porn guys as well.  Good action & easy to read.

There were no copies on PBS so I have posted it already, not sure if it will move or not.  It looks like this is first in a series so might look for more as well.

Breathing Fire--#64 finished

The rest of the title is:  Female Inmate Firefighters on the Front Lines of California's Wildfires.  The author follows a team of fire fighters through interviews and then after they get out as well.  Lots of information about their training and how better off they are in this training than in regular jail/prison but of course they are big risks in fighting fires and one firefighter does die.  With the CA fires in the news every year and especially in January when big parts of the LA area were under fire, figured this was a book to read.  Interesting read overall.

There are 4 WL for this book on PBS so will probably post and mail off at some point.

The Death and Life of Bobby Z--#63 finished

This was a case of needing an older mass market paperback that would fit into my pocket and this is the book I selected.  The Muny shows were starting and I think there was a doctor appointment in there too.  This was published in 1997 so older qualifies I guess, even though that doesn't seem that old to me--ha ha.  A criminal sentenced to life in CA, is offered a chance at a sort of freedom--he looks enough like a drug dealer Bobby Z to impersonate him during an exchange with another drug lord.  From there everything goes sort of haywire.  He latches onto a young boy that is supposedly Bobby Z's son and is able to escape and stay ahead of everyone that is looking to kill him.  Not too bad, not a great story but sounds like would have made a good movie, not sure why it didn't.

It is a rough old copy of this book so I will put it in my give away pile, can't post on PBS.
