Product Description
From Library Journal
The long-running Benny Cooperman series gets a booster shot with this tale of toxic waste and murder in Grantham, Ontario. A woman whose husband died in a suspicious accident hires P.I. Cooperman to investigate. Cooperman lacks enthusiasm until he finds ties to a former nemesis; then he risks the wrath of a powerful waste disposal company apparently in cahoots with city government. Benny's usual sources of information and others get him deep into other people's boats, books, and eventually, the truth. A necessary purchase for most collections.

From Booklist
Engel's Benny Cooperman series has attracted a devoted audience in Canada (where the author lives) and Europe, but it has never achieved the recognition it deserves in the U.S. Benny, a private detective in fictional Grantham, Ontario, is a marvelous creation--a hardworking fellow whose innate bad luck just keeps leading him into the wrong cases. (Think Jim Rockford minus the proclivity for getting into fistfights.) This time around, Benny is finagled into investigating a yearold death. A widow is convinced that her husband was murdered by the company he worked for, and Benny, poor fellow, agrees to help her prove it. Naturally, one murder leads to more murders, and soon Benny's own life is on the line. In many ways, the Cooperman novels are similar to other privateeye series--certainly the plots themselves aren't particularly original--but the atmospheric setting and the charmingly idiosyncratic characters make them seem entirely fresh. Recommended for all readers, but especially for fans of privateeye yarns who are tired of the same old thing. David Pitt
