I am working my way to reading everything Mr. Bourdain has written. This book is about the mob. It's a great book and a cool story. I really liked the characters and the shootout scene towards the end. Only Bourdain can make it bloody good. And of course, I like how he incorporates cooking terms throughout the book. ( ) Remember that Bourdain is a reasonably famous chef at a well known New York restaurant. Food certainly is important to him, and one of the characters, Mickey, in this second of his mob-oriented novels, is the chef to a mobster hiding under the witness protection plan in a French island in the Caribbean. Henry, a hit man, had been hired by Jimmie several years before to take out Donnie, a Mafia chieftain. Unfortunately, Donnie had only been badly wounded, had survived the shooting, and was now, several years later, singing to the feds. He is being hidden on the same island where Henry and Frances have taken up an idyllic retirement. Donnie' arrival on the island changes all the dynamics, and Henry, knowing that Donnie probably knows that Henry had been the one hired to shoot him, decides to make some peace overtures. If you like ganster-type books, you' enjoy this one, although I understand that [book:Bone in the Throat] should be read first. De Amerikaan Henry en zijn vrouw Frances wonen op een eiland in het Caribisch gebied, het is er goed leven met vrienden, barbecues, strand, veel tequila en drugs. Maar dan wordt hun rust verstoord: in het kader van het beschermingsprogramma voor kroongetuigen komt maffiabaas Charlie Ianello naar het eiland. Jaren geleden heeft Henry - die als huurmoordenaar werkte - geprobeerd om Charlie te vermoorden. Maar nu moet Henry Charlie beschermen tegen andere maffiosi. Vlot geschreven thriller waarin eten en drinken een belangrijke rol spelen. De auteur (1956) is eigenaar en chefkok van een restaurant in New York. Behalve thrillers schrijf hij ook non-fictie. Enkele figuren uit zijn roman 'Tot op het bot'* spelen ook in dit boek een rol. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
