When longtime loser, Tim Kearney draws a license plate across the throat of a Hell's Angel, he's pretty much a dead man. It's his third crime and under Californian law that gives him 'life without the possibility of parole'. Killing a Hell's Angel also makes him a dead man on any prison yard in California. That's when the DEA makes Kearney an offer: impersonate the late, legendary dope smuggler Bobby Z so that the agency can trade him to Don Huertero - northern Mexico's drug kingpin - for a captured DEA agent. Kearney bears an uncanny resemblance to Bobby Z, and with training, he might just be able to pass. Or not. But, really, what choice does he have? Kearney meets Bobby Z's old flame, Elizabeth, and the son she claims is his, goes on the run from drug lords, bikers, Indians, and cops. Some of his pursuers want the legend, Bobby Z, and some want the rather less legendary Tim K. Regardless of who everybody else thinks he is, Kearney knows he is going to have to do something pretty legendary to save the girl, the kid, and his own life...

I ordered and paid for this novel because of Don Winslow and his other stories. It was one that I had not read. The story of Bobby Z does not measure up to his other stories(i.e Power of the Dog, California Light & Heat??). It was one of his earlier novels and not as well written or plotted.

Great book
This book was full of action and comedy. My only problem with it is that it should have been longer. I didn't want it to end.
