Do yourself a favor and read this and skip California Game Entirely
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book was the next published after Jade woman. Chronologially California Game follows Jade woman as Lovejoy fled Hong Kong in Jade Woman to the USA where he encountered the California Game. The Very Last Gambado is a good book. Do youself a favor and skip California Game entirely. I had been enjoying the Lovejoy series until that awful book that should never have been published.
The caper to end all capers!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is a big, brash Lovejoy caper, and as wonderful as it is, I wouldn't recommend this to be read before any other books in this wonderful series. This book's plot and the huge caper are very complex, and Lovejoy has really bitten off more than he can chew in this one. Lovejoy is recruited to act as a consultant for a film about a robbery from the British Museum. Lovejoy knows all along that he's a pawn in some crook's game, but he can't figure out why they need him. Lovejoy, you're too modest - not only are you a divy, but your reputation preceeds you! Anyway, Lovejoy ends up mixing up with some very bad people, and he even finds himself in between two mob bosses that are after each other's blood. I love all the books in this series, but I would have to say that this particular book is my favourite so far. It is the "very last gambado" (the big score), just as the title states.
