“Given the humor and grit he likedto mix in his suspense novels, Ross Thomas would rejoice at Johnny Heller’sversatile and often hilarious performance of this work. It is set in 1946 andfeatures unemployed former OSS op Minor Jackson and Polscaru, a Romanian dwarfwho hires him to find a young German-Jewish assassin who won’t stop killingNazis—war or no war. The accents are huge fun: Texan, British, German, Polish,Romanian, and Russian, just for a start. Meanwhile, Heller manages to makePolscaru, a compulsive liar, double-crosser, and indefatigable ladies’ man,weirdly charming. Not to mention the wide-eyed innocence he gives to theassassin’s virginal sister who claims she learned all those esoteric sextechniques from a book. Great acting. Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award.”
