This is one of those well written and somewhat muscular books whose protagonist so turned me off that after thirty or so pages I decided, to heck with it, life's too short to read a book because it would be good for me to have read it. Although, it wasn't just the protagonist. It was the whole feel--the physical details of, say, work in the lumber yard, are excellent, but the people feel truncated. Bodies without hearts. If I had been patient that impression might have been overturned. I leave it to the other eleven people on LT with this book to dispute it. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

North America's first gangster novel-originally published in 1928-this page-turning thriller features characters both charming and terrifying. Set in Toronto during the era of speakeasies and underworld vendettas, the tale centers on Harry Trotter, an amoral figure who loses his job and his wife in quick succession. He soon evolves from a bootlegger into a reputable gangster, doing as he pleases and strong-arming anyone who stands in his way. Reviving the narrative that set the literary stage for the hard-boiled crime genre, this is a seething noir tale of crime, murder, betrayal, and knuckle-bruising politics.
