Product Description
Product Description
“Unlike too many other fictional PI’s, Fiddler has aged well. . . . The plots are well-hewn, the dialogue crackling, the bad guys among the very baddest. . . . From the yachty Newport crowd and the oenophiles of Napa to the dream-seeking denizens of L.A., Maxwell’s books provide a sort of literary amber, capturing the scene and saving it for posterity.”—Bob Morris
“One of the most interesting and engaging private eyes since Robert Parker’s Spenser.”— Advertising Age
“Excellent characterization and dialogue...action-packed and thrilling...The book has aged remarkably well, with issues such as illegal immigration and terrorism that could have been ripped from today's headlines. Busted Flush has done the crime fiction world a real favor by finding forgotten gems such as this and reprinting them.”—Maddy Van Hertbruggen, Reviewing the Evidence
The second Fiddler & Fiora thriller, back in print. A Jewish Iranian friend of Fiddler’s is being blackmailed by terrorists and needs Fiddler’s help.

3.0 out of 5 stars
thriller with overtones of middle eastern conflict, Dec 19 2006
By Saralee Etter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Frog and the Scorpion (Mass Market Paperback)
The venue is Southern California, but the conflict revolves around the interests of certain Arabs and Israelis in this mid-1980s thriller.
A wealthy, cultured Iranian family now living in the U.S. is being blackmailed because someone has found out that they are actually illegal aliens. Discovery would mean deportation back to Iran, which would be a death sentence for them. The family calls upon Fiddler, an ex-violinist with a talent for dealing with danger, to find out who the blackmailers are. In the process, Fiddler becomes involved with an aging Mossad operative and his beautiful but haunted daughter.
The story is fast-paced and engrossing, but the political attitudes of the characters seem dated now (which is the reason for only 3 stars). The exciting action climax was fun to read.
