I guess introductory books, complete with egg stains on ties, can be a little ponderous, but this second foray was excellent. It kept me up until midnight! Not my usual thing these days. Burglaries, cocaine, teenagers off the skids, patterns . ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

A willing victim complicates a case for Detective Charlie Resnick, "one of the most fully realized characters in modern crime fiction" (Sue Grafton). Maria Roy is in the tub, musing on her hatred for her movie producer husband, when Grabianski and Grice break into her house. Though she is fearful at first, something about Jerry Grabianski's confidence calms her down. Over tall glasses of Scotch, she directs them to her valuables--jewelry, bonds, her wedding tape--even doing them the favor of unlocking her husband's safe. There Grabianski finds a surprise: a kilo of cocaine. He leaves with the drugs, the valuables, and a piece of Maria's heart. This is not the story she tells to police inspector Charlie Resnick, but Maria's confusion makes the disheveled detective doubt her account of the robbery. As he combs Nottingham for the burglars, Maria and Jerry's love affair charges ahead. She is about to learn that not even love can keep crime from turning bloody. No library descriptions found. |
