LesOpinion: Just when I thought I was freed from bad Baldacci, this short story collection appeared on the shelves of the S. White Dickinson. Alas, 60 pages of the most hellish and poorly edited Baldacci, yet. The title story in this collection is a Baldacci novella that is the only reason any library has this book on its shelves. Unfortunately, the Baldacci story is the worst of the lot. The real gems are the (all football-themed [!?]) mysteries by some of the best contemporary suspense writers working: Lawrence Block, Dennis Lehane, Brad Meltzer, Anne Perry. Every single other one of these stories deals an embarrassing blow to Baldacci's hackneyed prose.
