Some Die Nameless
Autor Wallace Strobyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 iul 2018
Ray Devlin is retired, living a simple life off the grid in Florida, when a visit from an old colleague stirs some bad memories--and ends with a gunshot. Soon Devlin is forced to again face a past he'd hoped to leave behind, as a member of a mercenary force that helped put a brutal South American dictator into power.
Tracy
Quinn
is
an
investigative
reporter
at
a
struggling
Philadelphia
newspaper
decimated
by
layoffs
and
cutbacks.
Then
one
day
what
appears
to
be
a
straightforward
homicide--a
body
left
in
an
abandoned
rowhouse--draws
her
and
Devlin
together,
and
ultimately
enmeshes
both
in
a
conspiracy
that
stretches
over
twenty
years
and
reaches
to
the
highest
levels
of
the
U.S.
government.
Before
long,
they're
both
the
targets
of
a
ruthless
assassin
haunted
by
his
own
wartime
experiences.
For
Devlin,
it
could
all
mean
a
last
shot
at
redemption.
For
Tracy,
the
biggest
story
of
her
career
might
just
cost
her
life.

Recenzii
"Stroby,
already
a
crime
fiction
luminary,
is
channeling
his
inner
Elmore
Leonard
more
and
more
these
days,
and
this
time
he's
headed
to
Leonard's
old
stomping
grounds,
a
Florida
populated
by
rogues,
hustlers,
reporters,
and
mercenaries.
Expect
some
quality
thrills
and
madcap
action."—LitHub
"Stroby, who is frequently compared to Elmore Leonard, remains at the top of his game. His sketches of today's newspapers and their financial woes are vividly rendered, as is his take on the sordid business of companies attempting to exploit the idea of 'Democracy for Profit.' Best of all, Stroby's prose is as lean, clean, and mean as ever."—Booklist (starred review)
"Stroby is a master of his genre, and a must-read for lovers of thrillers, crime, and noir."—Medium
"Some Die Namelesshas no shortage of suspense. Stroby keeps the adrenaline flowing page after page. His depiction of the modern newsroom and its shrinking staff builds Quinn as a rogue hero, fighting to bring the truth to the American public. Timely, exciting and shrewd,Some Die Namelessis prime crime fiction."—Shelf Awareness
"Wally Stroby is a knockout writer, the king of dialogue and a terrific storyteller. This timely and relentless thriller, a triumph of unlikely alliances, is taut, tight, vivid and brilliant."—Hank Phillippi Ryan, bestselling author of Trust Me
"Stroby's years as a journalist, including for theStar-Ledger, are evident in his lean prose... Stroby has a great eye for the kind of characters who belong in noir."—Newark Star-Ledger

headlong

also

"Some

Namelessis
noir
for
modern
times.
The
heroes
are
classic,
but
the
bad
guys
are
completely
a
21st

product.
Greedy
and
reckless,
they
have
no
fear
of
the
truth

those
seeking
justice.
A
boat

Army

and
a

channels
two
of

Carver--with
his

lean
prose

in

Award-winning

of
The
Silence

surgically
precise
prose,
Wallace
Stroby
has
created
a
story
as
fast,
emotionally
engaging,
as
richly
detailed
and
riveting
as
any
novel
I've
read
in
years.
I
would
have
consumedSome
Die
Namelessin
a
single
sitting
except
I
had
to
keep
getting
up
and
walking
around
the
room
to
catch
my
breath.
I've
been
a
Stroby
fan
for
a
while,
but
this
novel
is
by
far
his
most
ambitious
and
his
most
impressive.
From
the
first
scene
to
the
last,
this
book
never
slows
down
or
disappoints.
A
deeply
satisfying
read."

Die
NamelessWallace
Stroby
has
achieved
the
impossible,
combining
the
complexity
and
tension
of
a
whodunit
mystery
with
the
suspense
and
action
of
one
of
the
most
dynamic
thrillers
in
years.
Stroby's
taut
prose
and
authentic
characters
keep
the
twists
and
turns
coming,
culminating
in
an
explosive

kept
