Gault wrote a number of pulp mysteries besides his two detective series featuring Joe Puma and Brock Callahan. This one has at its focus a staple of pulp fiction: the innocent guy who wakes up and realizes that all the evidence points to his having murdered the pretty corpse, but he can't remember for nothing whether or not he did it. Gault does one even better here and makes this chump a mean boxer who was nearly out of control in the seventh through ninth rounds before he took off with this dame. Mixing boxing and murder can only lead to a great read and it certainly dies here. Luke Pilgrim is a great character. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The fighter had a dream. . . . Some men were sewing a body into canvas. It was on the deck of a ship. There was a big seam up the middle of the canvas, and now only the face was still uncovered . . . ''You want to take a last look, champ?'' one of the men asked. ''We're about ready to dump him.'' The fighter bent to see in the moonlight. The face in the canvas was his own . . . The fighter was Luke Pilgrim, middleweight champion of the world. Luke could handle any man in the ring. He also could handle the hoods who were trying to muscle in on his next fight . . . But there was one thing he couldn't handle - and that was murder . . . Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
