I'm lucky that I don't know Maine well, because I think _Persuader_ has the best open sequence and surprise of any thriller I've read in a couple of decades--and it conveniently fit on side one of the unabridged audio book.

I'm guessing that those of us who only know Maine from _The Ciderhouse Rules_, _Persuader_, _M*A*S*H Goes to Maine_, and Stephen King may have a pretty skewed view.
