The Exiled
Autor Christopher Charlesen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 apr 2016
Can
anyone
ever
truly
outrun
his
past?
Back
in
the
1980s,
Wes
Raney
was
an
ambitious
New
York
City
Narcotics
Detective
with
a
growing
drug
habit
of
his
own.
While
working
undercover
on
a
high-risk
case,
he
made
decisions
that
ultimately
cost
him
not
only
his
career,
but
also
his
family.
Disgraced,
Raney
fled-but
history
is
finally
catching
up
with
him.
Now
in
his
early
forties,
Raney
has
been
living
in
exile,
the
sole
homicide
investigator
covering
a
two-hundred-mile
stretch
of
desert
in
New
Mexico.
His
solitude
is
his
salvation-but
it
ends
when
a
brutal
drug
deal
gone
wrong
results
in
a
triple
murder.
Staged
in
a
locked
underground
bunker,
the
crime
reawakens
Raney's
haunted
and
violent
past.
From
the
vast,
unforgiving
landscape
of
the
American
west
to
the
mean
streets
of
New
York,The
Exiledis
at
once
a
riveting
murder
mystery
and
a
brilliant
portrait
of
a
man
on
the
run
from
himself,
an
unforgettable
thriller
that
is
"impossible
to
put
down"
(Frank
Bill).

Recenzii
"There's
no
doubt
that
[Charles]
can
write."—Marilyn
Stasio,New
York
Times
Book
Review
"Charles paints a graphic picture of Raney as a lonely man with a fine-tuned cop's intuition and a stubborn drug jones. . . .The Exiledis a fine piece of crime fiction with a keen sense of timing and character. Let's hope for another Raney novel soon."—Shelf Awareness
"[A] dark gem of a novel . . . Powered by relentless pacing and fully realized characters, this brutal narrative illuminates the harrowing realms of drug addiction and organized crime. Readers won't soon forget Raney's blood-soaked and coke-fueled journey through self-loathing to some semblance of salvation."—Publishers Weekly
"Chris Narozny is a nimble and unflinching writer."—Patrick deWitt, author of The Sisters Brothers
"Charles does an excellent job of balancing the story of Raney's murder investigation with flashbacks to his career and downfall in New York. The plot is woven tightly, and Raney is a well-developed and likable protagonist. . . . Using spare prose to tell a compelling story of redemption, [Charles] has written an excellent crime novel that should appeal to readers looking for a fast-paced page-turner."—Library Journal
"Edgy and satisfying. A sequel would be most welcome . . . The story isn't so much about solving the murders, though that gets taken care of. It's about Raney's personal journey--how he wants to be good but struggles against his weaknesses and might fail."—Kirkus Reviews
"Christopher Charles has written one of the most gripping novels to come my way in a long time. If you need sleep, don't pick it up, because you won't be putting it down anytime soon. Each scene convinces you that you just have to read one more, and pretty soon you've stayed up half the night. Charles is a spellbinding storyteller, and his characters are as vivid and real as they get. I rarely feel this enthusiastic about a novel.The Exiledis the work of an amazing writer."—Stephen Yarbrough, author of Visible Spirits and The Realm of Last Chances
"Son of a bitch! This is one dark and powerful story of a damaged man with a do or die attitude, a man who wants to succeed and never fail. Scribed with a bare-bones narrative, its one part detective, two parts noir with a strong mixture of literary craft and one twist following the next. It takes a lot for a book to hold my interest, even more to finish it, but withThe Exiled, Christopher Charles's storytelling was so deeply rooted within the characters, it was impossible to put down."—Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana and Donnybrook
"A crime novel in the spirit of Jim Thompson,The Exiledis a rifle shot of a novel. Christopher Charles has sighted in the scope, drawn the crosshairs, and delivered a bullet center mass."—David Joy, author of Where All Light Tends to Go
"Christopher Charles' THE EXILED startles with its grit and energy. It has the feel of Anthony Mann's muscular noirs and Westerns: concise, tragic, observant. As Detective Wes Raney's haunted past boils to the surface, we're pulled into a tangled world where death is ubiquitous. This is a quick and thrilling read, a brilliant study in American devastation."—William Boyle, author of Gravesend
"THE EXILED is a brilliant, powerful novel, rich with character and conflict. Charles skillfully weaves past and present into a gritty, vibrant story paced with an avalanche momentum."—Steve Weddle, author of Country Hardball
