Free Form Jazz de Lee Lamothe

Free Form Jazz: Castle Street Mysteries

Autor Lee Lamothe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iul 2010
Disgraced city cop Ray Tate and outcast state trooper Djuna Brown track down a wealthy sexual sadist and a depressed career criminal flooding a Midwestern U.S. city with killer ecstasy pills. Mismatched and mutually suspicious of each other, Tate and Brown hunt the mythic Captain Cook and his henchman, the homicidal Phil Harvey. But as Captain Cook sinks deeper into a spiral of sexual depravity, Phil Harvey begins to question his role as a lifelong gangster.
Tate and Brown discover, as they sift through the rubble left by their targets, that no one is what they appear to be not even themselves. Travelling through the Chinese underworld, clandestine drug laboratories, and biker-ridden badlands, the troubled duo encounter murder, political corruption, police paranoia, and psychosis, but can they find redemption?

Recenzii

It's a fascinating story that has considerable ring of reality to it, polished by the developing friendship between Tate and Brown. The scene where they both visit a beauty salon is worth the price of admission.

Lamothe takes the time to turn Tate and Brown into characters with depth, not just habits, and then lets them follow the evidence and build the case. Lamothes novel The Fingers Twist, which eerily predicted events last weekend in Toronto, was a finalist for the Arthur Ellis Award. This one is even better.

"His years of study into real-world crime and punishment bring an air of reality that will surprise many as he investigates and uncovers motives on both sides of this drama. The pace quickens as our protagonist pair close in on the main suspects and the twists and turns in both plot and character development make 'Free Form Jazz' a great way to spend a rainy afternoon." - EMC newspaper (Canada) Nov 2010 "It's a fascinating story that has considerable ring of reality to it, polished by the developing friendship between Tate and Brown. The scene where they both visit a beauty salon is worth the price of admission." - The Star-Phoenix (Saskatoon) September 2010 "Lamothe emerges, delivering a superbly crafted morality play where the scurrilous become wrenchingly sympathetic and the plot is just along for the 'free-form.' ride. Lamothe now has a genre-stretching hat-trick. Pray for more." - Winnipeg Free Press August 2010 "Lamothe takes the time to turn Tate and Brown into characters with depth, not just habits, and then lets them follow the evidence and build the case. Lamothe's novel The Finger's Twist, which eerily predicted events last weekend in Toronto, was a finalist for the Arthur Ellis Award. This one is even better." - Globe and Mail July 3, 2010 Toronto journalist-turned-mystery-writer Lee Lamothe is back with his brand of crime writing so punchy you feel it in your teeth. -- Telegraph-Journal (St. John NB)
