The sequel to Proceed With Caution, hailed by EMS professionals and volunteers as "as close to the real thing as it gets!"
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This amateurish effort is strictly for laughs--or groans. Leonard's protagonist is a secretly wealthy nerd and medical emergency corps volunteer who becomes involved in a thriller situation. Scott Jamison is in danger of being sacked from the corps and from his vague day job unless he can find out how a small-time drug dealer retrieved a gun from an accident scene. The dealer's widow slaps Scott with a civil suit for her husband's death, while a bigger dealer demands his $20,000 back--money that Scott doesn't have. This whiny, put-upon hero-narrator blames others for his woes; by the novel's denouement readers may blame the author. Scott's less than brainy girlfriend (she refers to a man ``arranged three times on drug charges'') seems a mental match for him (``Drug dealers give grace periods, don't they?'' he muses). When a cop says, ``You're not as smart as you think you are, Scott,'' readers will heartily concur.
