OrangeReviewStarJunior Bender (Herbie's Game) is in another fix. Barely escaping with his life after stealing one of the world's rarest stamps, he is on the lam from a very violent man, owner of said stamp. It quickly becomes clear there is far more going on than a stamp theft gone wrong; Junior is being set up to take a murder rap for studio mogul Jeremy Granger, better known as King Maybe. And Junior does not want to do anything to make King Maybe's life easier.
VERDICT Twists and turns abound as Junior slips and ducks incoming blows. A rare man of integrity in a world of tinsel and dust, Junior may steal for a living, but he has scruples and will do anything to protect his loved ones. Fans of fast-paced thrillers with a lot of heart will enjoy this series.
