Once a Crooked Man

I love David McCallum from his role on NCIS, but I did not enjoy this book at all. The story follows a struggling young actor who inadvertently gets mixed up in the affairs of a crime family trying to dismantle their illegitimate operations. While a fairly creative story, it was convoluted and at times hard to follow. The perspectives switched at odd times, and there were several lengthy tangents that did not significantly enhance the plot. The best part of the experience was listening to the author's familiar voice and all the different accents he used for the various characters (I listened to the audiobook version).
