The Man Who Never Returned: A Novel di Peter Quinn
5843 The Man Who Never Returned, by Peter Quinn (read 24 Apr 2024) This book is fiction but is inspired by the disappearance on Aug 6, 1930 of Judge Joseph Crater. a New York jurist appointed by Governor Franklin Roosevelt in Marcch of 1930. It is detailed and I admit I did not read it as carefully as I maybe should have. Crater was 'secretary' to Senator Robert Wagner. when he (Crater) finished law school.
New York, juin 1938: on découvre le corps d'une infirmière dans un vieil immeuble. Le détective privé Fintan Dunne commence son enquête. Curieusement, toutes les pistes convergent vers des membres de l'élite américaine, fascinés par les théories eugéniques nazies. De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, l'Allemagne assiste au triomphe d'Hitler. Tiraillés entre morale et patriotisme, quelques officiers des services secrets tentent de mettre un frein à la folie du dictateur : l'heure du chat, celle où l'on choisit son camp, a sonné... Dans ce thriller captivant, Peter Quinn décrit avec subtilité les rapports troubles qu'entretenaient l'Allemagne et les États-Unis, à la veille d'un conflit qui a changé la face du monde.… (altro)
A good detective novel. The author does a great job of leading us through the facts uncovered and how the main character finally unravels the mystery. The historical setting and characters are authentic. There is one flaw in the plot that bothers me, but I won't ruin the story for you by trying to explain it.
