When a violent double murder of the owner of a tire store and one of his workers occurs in normally crime-light Iowa City, former homicide detective-turned-private investigator Charlie Komensky is hired by a seductress of a client to bring his Chicago-style police skills to investigate and hopefully prove that the store owner's wife is guilty of the crime. After Charlie connects positively with the local police detective, he feels this job could be wrapped up in a week. However, as he uncovers a conspiracy undercurrent and becomes the target of a couple of assassination attempts, Charlie begins to realize just how dangerous a case he has taken on. This novel is a hyper-thriller mystery with a hard-nosed detective willing to stretch the rules in a noir setting. However, there are no sympathetic characters among the cast of suspects and some unrealistically lucky interactions are used to reveal secrets and drive the plot forward. If the reader can look past these points without looking under the hood, a satisfactory mystery might be enjoyed. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieCharlie Komensky (2)
First in the Charlie Komensky detective series. Charlie is an ex-Chicago cop who moved to the suburbs and still saw a lot of action before retiring and becoming a private detective. He's a railroad fan, and never misses an opportunity to watch or chase trains. His longsuffering girlfriend, Linda Chelwood, runs a card and gift shop in Oak Brook and spends her free hours trying to keep the detective business solvent and Charlie on track - almost a second full-time job. She'd love to marry him as much as he'd love to take her with him to watch trains. When a sexy and disarming client comes to Charlie with a story that her cousin has murdered her lover, Charlie heads off to Iowa City to do some sleuthing and train watching. In a short time, he finds that a new formulation for synthetic rubber is both a valuable and deadly key to solving the crime. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
