Too bad Charlie Sheen's gone off the deep end, because he'd be the guy to play Donovan Creed: just the right amount of comic intensity, overt sexuality and sheer lunacy to pull it off.
When Rachel gets snatched from her protected penthouse by government agents, Creed has no choice but to enlist Rachel's cuckolded husband/savant Sam Case to try to save her--again. Think wacky water moccasin high jinx.
It's nice to see Creed back on center-stage after the past couple of books, doing what he does best: scaring the crap out of people.
I have no idea how long this book is. I read it in a couple hours. Locke crams so much action into a few pages, one hardly feels cheated. At times, the comic dialogue seems a bit forced, however.
A GIRL LIKE YOU suggests that Creed will soon be out fighting terrorists. I look forward to that. Four and a half stars for this one.
