The Ragged End of Nowhere

Autor Roy Chaney
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2009

A quick-witted, fast-paced novel that shines a sharp new light on Las Vegas, The Ragged End of Nowhere was awwarded the 2008 Tony Hillerman Prize for best debuty mystery set in the American Southwest.

Bodo Hagen thought his family had left Las Vegas for good. He had joined the CIA and moved to Berlin, while his younger brother had followed in their father's footsteps and joined the French Foreign Legion. For a while they were free from the criminal underworld upon which the Vegas Strip was built.

But when his Legion contract ended, Bodo's brother returned to Las Vegas. Five days later his body was found on the edge of the desert. Word is that he'd returned from Europe with a valuable-and possibly stolen-ancient relic to sell. Now Bodo must come back and track down that missing artifact-and with it, his brother's killer.

Descriere

Hagen thought his family had left Las Vegas for good. He had joined the CIA and moved to Berlin, while his younger brother had followed in their father's footsteps and joined the French Foreign Legion. For a while they had seemed free from the criminal underworld upon which the Vegas strip was built. But five days after his brother returns from his tour of duty, his body is found on the outskirts of the city. Word is that he'd returned from Europe with a valuable--and possibly stolen--ancient relic to sell. Now, Hagen has no choice but to come back and track down that missing item--and with it, his brother's killer. A quick-moving, fast-talking mystery in the vein of Elmore Leonard, the second Tony Hillerman Prizewinner offers a look at Vegas from beyond the casino floors. "The Ragged End of Nowhere "follows after the critically acclaimed first Hillerman winner, Christine Barber's "The Replacement Child."
