Magnolias in Paradise

Autor MR Leonard Seet
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Ernst arrives at the Paradise train station with fifty-thousand dollars to ransom his sweetheart, and while looking among the crowd for the young man with a magnolia, a beggar seizes his bag of cash and escapes through the revolving door. Chasing after the rascal, he slams into his contact--his girlfriend's lover in town. Now, he must beat his love-rival to the money and rescue her before the deadline. Magnolias in Paradise, which writer David Lentz compared to William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying, is a 96,000-word crime novel and the first in a potential series. As in Larry Brown's Father and Son, good confronts evil in a southern town. And as in Joe R. Lansdale's Cold in July, an ordinary man gets sucked into a conspiracy, with psychopaths terrorizing a small town and FBI agents going after a corrupt sheriff. In the end, the man must take the law into his hands. But in this case, ending in tragedy. Here, I combined Will Christopher Baer's surreal settings and mentally unstable villains, with Brian Evenson's literary minimalism and heroes cursing their knowledge.
