Publishers Weekly gives its verdict regarding the new (and penultimate) Hector Lassiter novel, DEATH IN THE FACE:
"Set in 1962, McDonald's fine ninth Hector Lassiter novel takes the 62-year-old writer and an old friend of his, 54-year-old Ian Fleming (the creator of James Bond), to Japan... McDonald pays frequent homage to Fleming and his novels, while Lassiter, like an aging James Bond, foils assassins and follows a trail that leads from Japan to Turkey... A brief coda sets the stage for the next and, unfortunately, last Lassiter novel, THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH. (Oct.)"

And from Booklist:
"There is one novel I’ve been waiting for that I’ll devour immediately, the latest in Craig McDonald’s Hector Lassiter series, Death in the Face. Lassiter and Ian Fleming team up for one last international caper to “live what they write and write what they live.”And if you can deliver an audio version narrated by Tom Stechshulte, I’ll never ask for another thing again ever."
