Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-22 00:00:00 Oliver Nitz Most novels based on television programs are sorely lacking. They either don't capture the characters and setting well or are poorly crafted tales. This was neither. Kaminsky crafts a tale of Chinese painting inside a Bottle Collections and missing teenagers that rates up there with some of the best private eye writing out there. On top of that, Kaminsky does a wonderful job of capturing the character of Jim Rockford. Carefully contructed and in balance is the relationship Rockford has with his former cellmate, Angel Martin. His concern for his friend is balanced with his exasperation for becoming involved in Martin's scams. His always difficult relationship with Lt. Becker comes through. His reluctance to dance his way out of trouble is well-presented. I can see James Garner uttering the lines that Kaminsky puts in Rockford's mouth and making them all work. This is not a television tie-in that disappoints, but a fine detective novel that does nothing but compliment the Rockford Files.
