Stealing Home Book

This is the first book I have read by Stephen Hunter. I have an earlier book in the series on my To-Be-Read Bookshelf, and I will have to find it so I can read it soon. This novel referred back to instances in previous novels and I feel it would have been better if I had read them first so I had a better understanding of the main character. According to several reviewers, this one had less action than other novels in the series and had several things about NASCAR inaccurate. Even if that is true, it did not detract from my enjoyment of the book. Hunter gets a lot of items accurate; especially about traffic near Bristol, TN/VA during race week. However, I am not sure how Swagger was able to get a hotel room during race week. They are generally booked up for miles around Bristol. For me, there was still plenty of action and a lot of suspense. This showed more than just how good a shot Swagger is. It showed deductive and investigative skills. I am looking forward to reading more of Hunter's novels.
