The 'Mob' has been given a new lease of life - whether it deserves or requires such is another matter!\u003cbr\u003eAt times I was beginning to love the 'Mob', just a little too much for comfort. A smart-alecky device, chock-full and out of place, me thinks! \u003cbr\u003eIt's both benign and stylish charm is unreservedly recommended by this reader.\u003cbr\u003eParts of the book have an air of uncertainty as though it is in search of a hero.\u003cbr\u003eNot that it matters, but I am told the larger part of this story is true. However what you get kind of glosses over the brutal and squalid stuff. \u003cbr\u003eThis novel could be considered as being somewhat short. However it still has a vivid intensity which easily compels me to read it again. \u003cbr\u003eI am positive that the essential humanity of the story will ensure a hugely wide appeal. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ricky Dale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1787920690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787920699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paragon Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.29d","brand":"Ricky Dale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46618101448959,"sku":"9781787920699","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18e3c9c8-e435-4ad0-85ea-c605f1c20d8d.jpg?v=1740069168","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kiss-me-deadly-ricky-dale-9781787920699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
