If you've read more than one or two Mike Shayne mysteries, then you are no doubt familiar with his nemesis, Miami Beach Police Chief Peter Painter. This story features Painter quite broadly and fleshes out his character more than ever before. It actually manages to humanize Painter. There's also a man in death row and claims that he got framed, sneaky assassins, bombers, union bosses, and captivating widows. It all revolves around a three year old robbery that really looks like an inside job. So, lots of great elements. Unfortunately, the plot feels a bit convoluted and this story, rather than being a quick read as most Shayne novels are, tends to drag on and on. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Mike Shayne has 24 hours to find out the truth and save a man from death row 3 years ago, Miami Chief of Detectives Peter Painter made the greatest arrest of his career--one that led to Sam Harris being put on death row for killing Rose Heminway's husband. So when Harris's wife discovers evidence that she believes could save her husband's life, Painter does what any corrupt cop would: He sits on the evidence, waiting for the electric chair to do its work. Finally, Mrs. Harris has no choice. She contacts Heminway, who was never fully convinced of Sam's guilt, though she testified against him, and they take the final course of action of desperate women across Miami: They hire Mike Shayne. The most daring detective in the United States, Shayne has just 24 hours to clear Harris's name, or an innocent man will fry. Saving Harris will mean the wrath of the entire Miami police department, but Shayne isn't worried. He's tougher than any electric chair. Murder in Haste is the 39th book in the Mike Shayne Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
