Product Description
An aging but formidable strip club owner, Claudiu Manco” Kapak, has been robbed by a masked gunman as he placed his cash receipts in a bank’s night-deposit box. Enraged, he sends his half-dozen security men out to find a suspect who is spending lots of cash and is new enough to Los Angeles not to know he was robbing a gangster.
Their search leads them to Joe Carver, an innocent but hardly defenseless newcomer who evades capture and sets out to make Kapak wish he’d chosen a name else. Meanwhile, the real culprit, Jefferson Davis Falkins, and his new girlfriend Carrie seem to judge they’ve establish a whole new profession: robbing Manco Kapak.
Lieutenant Nick Slosser, the police detective in charge of the puzzling and increasingly violent case, has his own troubles, including worries about how he’s going to afford to send the oldest child of each of his two bigamous marriages to college lacking building their mothers suspicious.
As this odd series of difficulties explodes into a triple killing, Carver finds himself in the middle of a brewing gang war over Kapak’s small empire, while Falkins and Carrie journey into territory more weird and violent than either had imagined.

$14.30 for the Kindle edition of this book is obnoxious. Why is this priced so high?? What makes this book better than all the additional Kindle books that are fee accordingly? Nothing…it’s just greedy publishers.

I’ve owned my Kindle since they first came out and have ordered too many books to count, but I REFUSE to ever pay more than the originally PROMISED fee of $9.99.

There’s no additional way to say it…this is unadorned and simply a dumb book…the plot goes nowhere…characters make cameo appearances…the tale moves a snail’s pace. I might say consider this as a beach book but there are enough additional “puff” pieces on the market. The Kindle fee was high and agreed what the book delivered, it was outrageous. Redeeming feature: last five pages lent an appealing twist to the book. All-in-all, a huge disappointment.

This book is populated with very appealing characters. I loved most of them. As in additional books by Perry the villains are not all terrible. The characters are entertaining and to some extent complex. That is the enjoyable part of the book. The poor part is that the plot does not seem to tie together. It seems that the side tales never really connect. I reflect the book would have been better with fewer characters and more cohesiveness.

Manco Kapak is the owner of a dance club and a couple of strip clubs, among additional shady enterprises he runs, and he has been the victim of an armed robbery [the take being the cash receipts from his various enterprises]. In point of fact, two armed robberies, since the scenario is repeated one fleeting month after the first one. Joe Carver is a recent transplant to Los Angeles, and the man Kapak is convinced robbed him. Jefferson Davis Falkins, another newly minted Angeleno, is the man who really did rob him. Thus is the groundwork laid for some of the most intriguing terrible/excellent guys [for they each have sense of right and incorrect, of a sort], and some of the best writing, encountered this side of Elmore Leonard.
Kapak, of Eastern European origin, is now sixty-four years ancient and is worried he might be losing his touch. But he is determined not to let the robber, who has wrongly been identified to him as Carver, get the best of him. Carver is a man who knows all the back doors and alleys and side streets of LA, and his knowledge serves him well, allowing him to elude Kapak, while trying to convince him he is not the man he’s looking for. And Jeff just continues to try to keep robbing Kapak, like the ancient-time bank robber who, when questioned why he kept robbing banks, said it was because that’s where the money was.
There are also a couple of really crazy ladies, including Jeff’s new girlfriend, Carrie, who is, as he puts it, “weird about guns and . . . a woman who never lost an argument.” He has no thought.
Mr. Perry is the leader of, among additional highly-acclaimed works, the terrific Jane Whitefield series, although he displays here a wonderful ironic humor that I didn’t remember being present in persons books [all of which I loved]. “Strip” is a painstakingly entertaining novel, and one which is highly recommended.
