"It's not the best of times for the repo men and skip tracers of DKA. The big boss has been thrown out of the house by his wife, landing, for the foreseeable future, in Larry Ballard's apartment. Ken Warren has fallen into the grasp of the sexually predatory mother of a multimillionaire computer geek. Bart Heslip has gone undercover in the Tenderloin, wearing a nose ring, a leather vest, and an attitude. O'B is up in redwood country, getting rained on. And Ballard, for a change, has met a woman who's a match for him." "But while the streets of San Francisco sizzle and DKA's best snag repos that range from luxury cars to truck tires to the electronic equipment of a talentless heavy metal band, someone is out to punch the agency's collective ticket for good." "It begins with the Mafia-style slaying of a flamboyant union leader. It leads toward a prominent San Francisco money man and a violent feud over a half-billion-dollar computer chip. As the DKA agents slap down Repo On Sight slips, they find themselves drawn into the dark heart of big-city corruption - backed by big shotguns, big money, and big madness."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

the DKA men take on repos, a union murder and protecting a rich nerd
  ritaer | Jun 4, 2021 |
Another installment of Gores' DKA series as he intertwines multiple stories, most of them related, concerning the operatives of the Daniel Kearney Agency as they go about their jobs and private pursuits, which in this case extend well beyond their normal duty to repossess cars, furniture, musical instruments or whatever. A fun read for the most part, though somewhat marred by repeated digressions by the author, who manages to inform us in an unnatural and obtrusive manner about a few of his favorite musical albums and books along the way. I guess this is a small nit though. Given Gores ability to tell a story, I'm likely to take a shot at reading or listening to whatever he mentions. This book also seems a lot more graphic and violent than the other two of the series I have read - perhaps it gets more violent as it goes along. ( )
