Recenzii
"The ethereal near-death visions of a beating victim nail you to the opening pages of Picasso Blues, a sequel to last year's Free Form Jazz by Toronto gonzo-noir king Lee Lamothe. Twisty plot-lines, vivid imagery and keen portraiture keep you there. The waves of arson, race riots and paranoia set off by a SARS-like epidemic provide grist for Lamothe's authentic police-psychology insights, but it's the crazy-love, salt-and-pepper reunion of scruffy detective Ray Tate and quirky State Trooper Djuna Brown that propel this fast-paced romp."
Notă biografică
Lee Lamothe is a journalist and the author of several books, including the national bestsellers The Sixth Family and Bloodlines, as well as the genre-busting novel The Last Thief: A Tale of the Russian Underworld and the highly acclaimed novels The Finger’s Twist (nominated for an Arthur Ellis Award) and Free Form Jazz. He lives in Toronto.
Descriere
Ray Tate and Djuna Brown are assigned to a task force investigating a series of mysterious murders that seem to be racially motivated. More than a whodunit detective story, Picasso Blues is a gripping tale of missed opportunites and hidden desires set amid rampant cynicism, fear, and deadly danger.
