If you're familiar with Duane Swierczynski's prior novels, you don't need me to tell you that FUN & GAMES should be at the top of all crime fiction fans' summer reading lists. The book chronicles the events of a very long and bad day in the life of Charlie Hardie, a professional house sitter who wasn't always so. Hardie was formerly an unofficial "consultant" for the Philadelphia police department, until some very, very bad things happened to him about three years before the events of FUN & GAMES take place.
