Query: Not Lawrence Sanders, and that's not a compliment.

I enjoy and look forward to any Lawrence Sanders book. This was unlike like anything I have ever read from him. I don't object to how he paces the book, with years of gaps in the storyline. But this is beyond disjointed. There is no logic or motive behind the characters, except sickness perhaps. And there is no satifactory conclusion to any of the multiple storylines, with the ending being the most inconclusive part of the book. If you want to be disgusted, confused and disappointed in an otherwise good author, then this is the book for you. I won't even put in on a garage sale, I don't want anyone to know that I wasted my time reading it.
