This gripping detective thriller set in a fascinating but corrupt country has all the drama, passion and tenderness of the Argentinian tango. It is December 2001, and Argentina is in economic meltdown. While the country wallows in corruption, cynicism and indifference, Gotan, an ex-cop from the Federal Police, lives in the past. He cannot forget the beguiling woman who briefly set alight his life--she disappeared as soon as he revealed he had worked for the "National Shame." Gotan is called urgently late one night to a friend's coastal retreat. He arrives too late: his friend is dead and his girlfriend has vanished. Using all his resources to find the girl, Gotan finds himself embroiled in a plot that goes to the heart of Argentina itself. Though no longer part of the force, Gotan is still a cop by nature. But his is a dangerous undertaking: after all, no one loves a policeman. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I won't be at all surprised to hear that many fans of straight up and down crime fiction find NO-ONE LOVES A POLICEMAN profoundly boring, profoundly confusing, profoundly pointless or some combination thereof. It was all of that for this reader as well, although I stuck with it mostly because of a very strong sense of a culture, and because I just had this sneaking feeling that Martelli was as confused as I was. And I did kind of like him as a character, and every now and then I don't mind having no idea what's happening fictionally. Sort of seems to match life really. But this is really is an odd book, and I'm not sure I would recommend it to everyone, but if you're looking for something different, then NO-ONE LOVES A POLICEMAN definitely meets that criteria. ( )
