Double Dealer, by Max Allan Collins
3.0
Look, don't go into these books expecting the same story and characters as the tv show. The characters might share the same names, but that's it. The people in the book act nothing like those on screen and once you accept that and separate the two, it's actually pretty enjoyable.
Yes it's just as cheesy and outlandish as the tv show, and though it doesn't move as fast and the science is still questionable, it's engaging. I'm probably going to hate myself after reading eight of these in a row, but one every now and then won't hurt. Especially as a substitute for the show.
So putting aside the fact this is published fanfiction where all your faves are out of character, this was a fun read. It's not perfect, and it certainly isn't a favorite, but it was enjoyable enough.
