Another hardboiled white knuckle ride from the author of The Final Country, winner of the CWA Silver Dagger Award 2002 C.W. Sughrue, ex hippie, heavy drinker and recovering gunshot victim, knows better than to work for his buddy, Dr Will Mackindrick. But when someone breaks into Mac's office and copies tapes of confidential psychoanalysis, it's clear the doctor needs help. Besides, he's offering a USD30,000 sweetener upfront. Sughrue's first day on the job lives up to expectations when the wife of one of Mac's patients comes hurtling towards him with a noose round her neck. 'Mrs Ritter didn't have the vaguest idea how to hang herself. Too much slack in the rope!' But it is enough for her to die, and Sughrue's pretty certain she won't be the only fatality. With six other patients, including a part-time stripper and a local anchor-woman to trail, Sughrue finds himself being dragged into a case that's rapidly becoming the wildest white-knuckle ride of his career.

This is a sad review for me to write. The early novels of James Crumley are my some of my favorite novels of all time. I keep waiting for him to write another, but with each disappointing new release, it is evident that the old magic is gone forever.
The right madness features C.W. Shrugue in another hard-boiled caper full of depravity, drugs and, of course, lots of booze. But what was a fascinating, dark portrait of a troubled young man living on the margins of western white trash society, is now a perverted tale of a paranoid, egotistical, old alcoholic.
Skip this one. Reread The Last Good Kiss, The Wrong Case or The Dancing Bear instead?
