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.
