I like the early DKA File novels, because they seem to me to give a more realistic picture of private eye work than the glamorous fictional coventions. I understand Gores had experience as a PI himself. Some later novels in the series (32 Cadillacs)_become less credible. ( ) Very enjoyable work in the DKA series. When I'm looking for a dose of reality - detective fiction that doesn't completely outstrip the bounds of the real world, I turn to Gores. His set of methodical investigators and the detail with which he describes their searches, in this case for a few ex-employees needed to testify in a hearing that could cost the detective agency its license, is fascinating. The courtroom scenes are particularly good. I'm not sure that every plot twist and explanation at the end really holds up under close examination, however. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Elenchi di rilievo
"A thriller in the best Hammett/Chandler tradition . . . Mr. Gores, as always, writes beautifully, with never a wasted word and with a fine feeling for characterization." -- The New York Times Due to an "irregular" case handled by a now-deceased agent, the State of California is hell-bent on revoking Dan Kearny's private investigator's license. What began as a dispute over an insignificant sum has spiraled into maelstrom of deception, conspiracy, and violence, launching Kearny and his associates on a cross-country search for witnesses who can clear the company's name. Before long they discover others following in their footsteps -- with deadly intent. This new edition of the third book in Joe Gores's DKA File series includes a bonus DKA short story, "File #7: O Black and Unknown Bard." Joe Gores (1931-2011) won Edgar Awards in three separate categories: Best First Novel, Best Short Story, and Best TV Series Segment. His work repossessing cars provided grist for the mill of his DKA series, making them -- in the words of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine -- "[as] authentic as a fist in your face."
