Blood Type is Stephen Greenleafs eighth mystery featuring hard-drinking, laconic San Francisco detective John Marshall Tanner, who has been called "the long-sought heir of Sam Spade, Marlowe and Archer". And Tanner will need all his skills and courage to solve a case the reverberations of which could shake the country. Tom Crandall, a war hero, social crusader, and Tanner's barrom confidant, lies dead in an abandoned alley in San Fran's Tenderloin district. The police all it suicide, but Tanner suspects that the affair Crandall's wife was having with millionaire corporate raider Richard Sands may have sealed Tom's fate. As he investigates, Tanner begins to turn up suspicious clues that lead to the city's vulnerable blood supply,and to Crandall's homeless, paranoid brother, whose accusations are wild and terrifying that even Tanner is shaken with fear. Blood Type is a novel of greed and malevolence.

Author's Note:
Any resemblance between the characters and events depicted in this book with real people and actual occurrences is purely understandable. That's because it all happened,every last bit of it. I know,because many years ago,I was the young lawyer who lived through it.

Very good book. So many times I have read a book where it felt that the author didn't quite know how to end it but this book has an excellent ending. I highly recommend this book.

Westlake brings back decent, smart and unlikely John Dortmunder for a seventh adventure. After a typically unrewarding night of attempted burglary, Dortmunder comes home to find ex-cellmate Tom Jimson in the living room. Jimson, given a 70th birthday release from an overcrowded state prison, is calmly venal and vicious as ever as he asks Dortmunder's help in reclaiming a $700,000 stash from an old robbery. The loot was buried in an upstate New York town that subsequently flooded to become part of the cities reservoir system. Jimson's plan to blow up the reservoir dam will doom nearby towns, so Dortmunder must concoct a more humane solution. A motley cast turning thru a dizzying variety of plot twists will keep readers laughing.

A thriller right out of the headlines with a Hitchcock type ending which I could never have guessed. The characterizations are well done and the court room scene was well researched. I wonder if it is really fiction.
