Twilight at Mac's Place

Ross Thomas. Warner Books, $5.99 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-446-40059-6

Former CIA ``fixer'' Steadfast Haynes dies in Washington, D.C., leaving his memoirs to his son Granville, an ex-L.A. homicide investigator. Granny finds that the manuscript is mostly blank pages and is soon faced with the murders of both his father's lover and a CIA retiree. According to PW , ``Thomas is at his best here with an intricate, riveting plot and a fine dry humor.'' (Nov.)
