SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.1st thus. (Trade paperback) Brookmyre, a Fleet Street journalist turned fiction writer, has the rep in the UK of being a master of the comic thriller. This is his first novel pub lished in the U.S. It fully lives up to its British press, delivering fast, just this side of out-of-control action, characters at once bizarre and sy mpathetic, and a cynical take on both sides of the law. When an oceanic res earch ship is found with not a single member of its crew on board, Sergeant Larry Freeman of the LAPD, sleepwalking through his job after the death of his son, is sprung from his security duties at a shabby B-movie festival a nd assigned to the case of the missing crew. The trail takes Freeman right through the tangle of the L.A. underworld and into the middle of a terroris t plot, the untangling of which involves dealing with the crazed and confus ed--and with his own despairing inertia. Excruciating suspense. Connie Flet cher Copyright © American Library Association.
