The Specialists are five ex-soldiers, all trained in jungle warfare, each with a deadly specialty. As civilians they lead inconspicuous lives--until the Colonel sends for them. Then their job is to find and eliminate the worst kind of criminal: those who hurt the innocent . . . those the law cannot touch.
Ah, what might have been. This novel reads like it's part of a series, but, alas, Lawrence Block only wrote about these guys in one book. Too bad because this is LB at his best. The characters are strong, the plot is fun, and it's dark, dark, dark. It won't take you long to read it, so go ahead and find this one. One of my favorites.
