Another reminder of why I love David Fulmer - he has a real gift for capturing the realism of street-level America, even the America of past decades. It is a rare talent to be able to transport foreign readers into another culture and leave them believing their surroundings are real. I have read several odf Mr Fulmer's other offerings and this one has been the best in an exceptional bunch. His characters - starting with chief protagonist Eddie Cero, a boxer-turned private-eye - are thoroughly engaging and the action well drawn. A pleasure to read. ( ) This unpretentious book about an Italian American fighter who falls into the PI trade builds well honed characters, doesn't give away the ending, feels "really" 1960s with details about technology, music, costs of living, etc., which brought that era back to me. Well written in a plain way, the author has a gift of making his characters alive with human faults and good qualities. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: David Fulmer, author of the acclaimed Storyville series, now brings us to the vibrant city of Philadelphia and the early days of its famous soul music. Welterweight boxer Eddie Cero is out of the ring with an injury, but he still can't bear to see an unfair fight. In a Philadelphia alley, he steps in on two punks beating up an older man—and the victim, a private detective, buys Eddie a round and offers him a part-time gig. After a few days on the job, Eddie stumbles on a cold case involving the frontman for the Excels, one of Philadelphia's best soul acts. A music lover and big fan of the group, Eddie starts investigating the case out of curiosity, but the missing singer's talented sister draws him deep into a violent, twisted story of betrayal and intrigue, power and passion—all set to the beat of Philadelphia soul. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
