Appartiene alle SeriePete Schofield (7)
"Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" - Bill Pronzini Pete Schofield had been to art-colony parties before. Usually they were all the same, but this one had an added kick. A giant punchbowl, filled to the rim with champagne, and spiked with the barest, most beautiful mermaid he'd ever seen. He was enjoying every inch of it. So was everyone else, until some joker decided to plunge into the act. That's when the lights went out, the lady disappeared, and Pete got hot as a pistol!

Dewey gives the reader a well-crafted story that is a lot of fun to read. It has a lot of the classic PI story elements including the merciless hoods, the femme fatale throwing herself at the PI, and all kinds of racing back and forth before the pieces all fall into place. Dewey doesn't try to make this tale anything that it isn't and it works real well. Despite the hoods and the beatings, it still feels like a lighter PI tale - perhaps it's the beach town partying atmosphere with the endless martinis. ( )
