Lyon Wentworth, children's author and hot-air balloonist, and his friend Rocco Herbert, police chief of Murphysville, CT, return in the second of a series. Lyon's wife, Bea, a State Senator, narrowly escapes death when a gubernatorial candidate she's introducing is shot. It soon becomes clear that Bea is also a target. But who is the shooter, and why is he shooting? A mysterious organization called Rainbow appears to be behind it all. Lyon and Rocco combine intuition, police work, and hot-air balloon reconnaissance to come to a surprising conclusion. Characters and setting will ring true for anyone who's lived in Connecticut. Highly recommended. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
When he learns a bullet was meant for his wife, children's author Lyon Wentworth investigates an assassination, in this irresistible political thriller. On a sunny afternoon in Murphysville, Connecticut, the village green of the charming suburb is filled with voters who have come for a glimpse of Randolph Llewyn. Everyone's attention is locked on the stage as state senator Bea Wentworth introduces the candidate for governor--everyone, that is, but Bea's husband, Lyon, who is daydreaming of a title for his latest children's book. Lyon snaps back to attention, however, when a sniper's bullet cuts Randolph down as he takes the stage. A second bullet misses, but the damage is done. As the crowd erupts in panic, Lyon spots the assassin fleeing on a motorcycle. With police chief Rocco Herbert, Lyon gives chase, but the killer gets away. Only then does Lyon think of Bea, who is shaken, but unharmed. But when he learns that Bea was also a target, the mild-mannered children's book author must find the courage to hunt an assassin before he strikes again. Written in the rough-and-tumble political climate of the late 1970s, The Wizard of Death is a small-town thriller unlike any other. Starring a delightful husband-and-wife sleuthing team, it's as quick and shocking as an assassin's bullet. The Wizard of Death is the 2nd book in the Lyon and Bea Wentworth Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
