 | From the author's web site:
"Jack is a denizen of Manhattan who dwells in the interstices of modern society. He has no official identity, no social security number, pays no taxes. When you lose faith in the system, or the system lets you down, you go to a guy who's outside the system. That's Repairman Jack.
"But he's no Equalizer, no knight in shining armor. Jack is strictly fee for service, and he may be a few bricks shy of a full load himself, but at least he's under control...most of the time.
"The name: Abe dubbed him Repairman Jack during the start-up years of Jack's fix-it business. Jack used it awhile as a sort of gag, but it stuck. Now, like it or not, he's known as Repairman Jack."
Repairman Jack is my second favorite fictional character (after Max Allan Collins' Nate Heller). The Tomb is the first in a series of seven novels and one short story collection published to date featuring F. Paul Wilson's fascinating fix-it-man.
The stories are all thrillers (most are horror). I've read the first four novels and am anxious to read the rest. I highly recommend this series. For more information, go to the author's web site http://www.repairmanjack.com/index2.html.
