Crime Song: Frank Marr, cartea 2
Autor David Swinsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 ian 2019
Frank
Marr
was
a
good
cop
with
a
bad
habit,
until
his
burgeoning
addictions
to
alcohol
and
cocaine
forced
him
into
retirement
from
the
DC
police.
Now
barely
eking
out
a
living
as
a
private
investigator,
he
agrees
to
take
on
a
family
case:
a
favor
for
his
aunt,
who
was
like
a
second
mother
to
him
growing
up.
Frank's
surveillance
confirms
that
his
cousin
Jeffrey
is
involved
with
a
small-time
drugs
operation.
Modest
stuff,
until
Frank's
own
home
is
burglarized,
leaving
a
body
on
the
kitchen
floor:
Jeffrey.
Worse,
Frank's
.38
revolver-the
murder
weapon-is
stolen,
along
with
his
cherished
music
collection,
his
only
possessions
of
sentimental
value:
dozens
of
vinyl
albums
that
belonged
to
his
late
mother.
Only
Frank's
stash,
his
dwindling
supply
of
the
cocaine
he
needs
to
get
through
the
day,
is
untouched.
Why?
Clearly,
his
cousin
was
deeper
in
the
underworld
than
anyone
realized.
With
the
weight
of
his
family,
his
reputation,
and
his
own
life
on
the
line,
he'll
have
to
find
the
culprit
by
following
the
stolen
goods
through
a
tangled
network
of
petty
thieves,
desperate
addicts,
deceiving
fences,
good
cops,
bad
cops,
and
one
morally
compromised
taxi
driver.
Frank's
as
determined
to
uncover
the
truth
as
he
is
to
feed
his
habit,
and
both
pursuits
could
prove
deadly.
This
time,
it
may
just
be
a
question
of
what
gets
him
first.

Recenzii
"Marr
is
easy
to
take,
a
decent
guy
with
a
sense
of
honor.
And
sinceSwinson
is
one
of
the
best
dialogue
hounds
in
the
business,
Marr
is
blessed
with
some
terrific
street
talk."—The

Book
Review
"So convincing . . . Compulsively readable"—Jack Batten, Toronto Star
Frank Marr is "one of the genre's most damaged yet empathetic characters. The writing feels as authentic and true to the street asThe Wire--which for crime writers is about the highest praise there is."—Casey Barrett,Village Voice
"Former DC detective Swinson knows his stuff. . . . His second in the Frank Marr series features sharp prose, spot-on dialogue, and a protagonist as complicated and unlikely as he is appealing. Fans of gritty crime fiction will want to add Swinson to their reading lists."—Booklist (starred review)
"David Swinson is one of the most exciting new voices to come along in crime fiction in this decade, andCrime Songis Exhibit A of his remarkable talent. Swinson's writing is heartfelt, powerful, and authentic, and Frank Marr is as fully rendered as any detective in recent memory."—Michael Koryta, bestselling author of Rise the Dark
"Swinson delivers a superb second installment (afterThe Second Girl) in the "Frank Marr" series. Readers of Dennis Lehane, Richard Price, and George Pelecanos as well as fans ofThe Wirewill appreciate the gritty depiction of the mean inner-city streets of our nation's capital."—Library Journal (starred review)
"Smart and sharp . . . Swinson, a retired detective himself, knows his way around mean streets. . . . Through all the plot twists of this well-designed mystery, what comes through most are Swinson's characters--particularly Marr, who attracts affection and respect, even when he is at his worst."—The National Book Review

could
get
so
much
so
right."
