Harry is hot on the trail of a runaway Belle Meade teenager, Stacey Jameson, a rich girl, who in the words of Darryl Hall and John Oats, ". . . has gone too far and she knows it don't matter anyway." The convoluted chase leads him to the under belly of a city that until recently had been squeaky clean.
Chain of Fools is the best of the Harry James Denton novels to date. Harry has grown from a hapless-though-lucky nebbish to a talented investigator over the past few novels. Womack's sense of simile and metaphor is clever as usual: "I felt her rolling against me. I turned and we faced each other, rumpled, twisted in the covers, with morning breath like a couple of old lions who'd feasted the night before on something that had been dead for a bit too long."
Dan Prince runs a market research firm in Nashville, Tennessee.
