Down the River unto the Sea
Autor Walter Mosleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2019
In
this
"vibrant"
Edgar-nominated
bestseller
(New
York
Times
Book
Review),
Walter
Mosley
introduces
a
hard-boiled
new
character:
King
Oliver.
Joe
King
Oliver
was
one
of
the
NYPD's
finest
investigators,
until,
dispatched
to
arrest
a
well-heeled
car
thief,
he
is
framed
for
assault
by
his
enemies
within
the
NYPD,
a
charge
which
lands
him
in
solitary
at
Rikers
Island.
A
decade
later,
King
is
a
private
detective,
running
his
agency
with
the
help
of
his
teenage
daughter,
Aja-Denise.
Broken
by
the
brutality
he
suffered
and
committed
in
equal
measure
while
behind
bars,
his
work
and
his
daughter
are
the
only
light
in
his
solitary
life.
When
he
receives
a
card
in
the
mail
from
the
woman
who
admits
she
was
paid
to
frame
him
those
years
ago,
King
realizes
that
he
has
no
choice
but
to
take
his
own
case:
figuring
out
who
on
the
force
wanted
him
disposed
of--and
why.
Running
in
parallel
with
King's
own
quest
for
justice
is
the
case
of
a
Black
radical
journalist
accused
of
killing
two
on-duty
police
officers
who
had
been
abusing
their
badges
to
traffic
in
drugs
and
women
within
the
city's
poorest
neighborhoods.
Joined
by
Melquarth
Frost,
a
brilliant
sociopath,
our
hero
must
beat
dirty
cops
and
dirtier
bankers,
craven
lawyers,
and
above
all
keep
his
daughter
far
from
the
underworld
in
which
he
works.
All
the
while,
two
lives
hang
in
the
balance:
King's
client's,
and
King's
own.

Recenzii
"Walter
Mosley
is
back
with
a
whole
new
character
to
love.
.
.
.
As
gorgeous
a
novel
as
anything
he's
ever
written.
And
with
Joe
King
Oliver
I'm
betting,
and
hoping,
he's
given
us
a
character
we
haven't
see
the
last
of."—Richard
Lipez,Washington
Post
"Gritty . . . The plot soars . . . Few mystery writers can examine issues of race--how it divides and binds people--as clearly and unflinchingly as Walter Mosley."—Oline Cogdill,Associated Press
"Great stuff . . . The vibrant characters and pulsating dialogue are primo Mosley."—Marilyn Stasio,New York Times Book Review
"A wild ride that delivers hard-boiled satisfaction while toying with our prejudices and preconceptions . . . The darker and uglier the story gets, the more Joe King Oliver comes alive. . . . The journey is fun and joyful. . . . A fitting work for a world riddled with dark contradiction."—Steph Cha,Los Angeles Times
"Remarkable . . . Walter Mosley's latest novel [is] all the more relevant in Black Lives Matter era."—Lloyd Sachs,Chicago Tribune
"Down the River Unto the Seais a well-constructed crime novel, urgent in its plotting and carefully observed in the behaviors and the voices of its supporting cast. Mosley makes it all look simple, creating in Joe King Oliver another fascinatingly flawed detective brimming with potential."—Michael Berry,San Francisco Chronicle
"This is one of those books that leaves you a little breathless--not only while you're reading, but once the back cover's closed, too. For anyone who loves hard-bitten PI thrillers, readingDown the River unto the Seacouldn't be more right."—Teri Schlichenmeyer,Miami Times
"Rekindles some of the remarkable energy that drove the early Rawlins novels. . . . Mosley writes with great power here about themes that have permeated his work: institutional racism, political corruption, and the ways that both of these issues affect not only society at large but also the inner lives of individual men and women. And he has created a new hero in Joe Oliver with the depth and vulnerability to sustain what readers will hope becomes a new series. . . . It's the perfect moment for Mosley to unveil an exciting new hero and a series set in the present and confronting the issues that drive today's headlines."—Booklist (starred review)
"[An] excellent standalone . . . The novel's dedication--to Malcolm, Medgar, and Martin--underlines the difference that one man can make in the fight for justice."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A heady stew of racial politics and seedy characters that Mosley's fans are sure to eat up."—AARP
"It's Mosley's signature style--rough-hewn, rhythmic, and lyrical--that makes you ready and eager for whatever he's serving up. . . . Let the good times roll."—Kirkus Reviews
"Mosley's poetic descriptions of not only New York City but his character's deepest souls elevate the story to beauty. Although the characters, large and small, are all compelling, in the end it is King's story to tell, as he struggles to decide how much he's willing to risk to get the truth."—Strand Magazine
"Mosley's newest standalone has the markings of a classic hard-boiled New York novel... It's also a poignant page-turner whose larger themes--corruption, institutional racism, and the horrors of solitary confinement--speak to some of today's most pressing issues."—Charles Perry,LitHub
"[An] engaging standalone . . . Mosley fans will welcome another imaginative page-turning from a mystery grand master."—Library Journal
