Meh. Certainly no Clockers. Sort of muted narrative drama about a guy finding himself and his soul's real purpose after a building explosion/collapse that he sort of survives. Tormented cheating cop and a grandiose undertaker.
Returning to Sharpe after years off the job. This is a 1984 installment in his WILT series. It's good, but not as good as I remember his earlier books. Little smack of Joe Orton to it, though, which I like. A community college professor/administrator gets involved with a heroin ring.
