Death In Silver by Kenneth Robeson, Lester Dent
adventurous
mysterious
fast-paced
3.25
This one was a more claustrophobic adventure, almost as though Doc Savage had suffered a budget cut.
Instead of spanning the globe and ending up in a more exotic location, this one never leaves the New York/New Jersey locale. And, it also cut out Renny, Long Tom, and Johnnie altogether, though it did once again bring in Pat Savage long enough to be captured and spend the bulk of the novel off stage. Seriously, Pat Savage is sorely underused in this series.
Still, for all that, it was a fun one, and Doc got caught off guard a couple of times. But overall, this one was different enough from the previous nineteen that I had to go check to see if it had been penned by Lester Dent. It had. So I'm wondering if there might have been a bit of writer fatigue going on.
