Marked Man: a novel by William Lashner

Who is Chantal Adair? **** January 20,2007

Victor Carl is back after a night of drunken debauchery. He has the name Chantal Adair tatooed on his chest but no recollection of where he was or what he was doing. This sounds like our old friend Victor Carl, a lawyer who lives on the edge of the law. Nonetheless, as you travel with him through Lashner's novels, he comes across as a real down-to-earth guy, always scratching for another buck, but sometimes aiding folks in distress with little monetary return.As we follow him though this novel as the onion layers of the plot are peeled away, he never ceases to shock and enertain us.
