An armored car is robbed and members of the heist crew begin turning up dead. Insurance investigator Milo March follows the survivors to Brazil where they still keep on dying. March is stuck with the task of finding the loot, spiriting it out of the country while a corrupt cop tries to grab a share and convincing the surviving thieves to return to America to face a death sentence. March is a largely forgotten PI who deserves to be brought back to readers' attention. M E Chaber weaves a tale that keeps the reader wondering how March is going to pull off his mission. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In recent years, the media landscape in the United States has followed a pattern similar to that of the physical landscape by becoming increasingly suburbanized. Although it is a far cry from reality, the fantasy of a perfect suburban life still exists in the collective imagination of millions of Americans. This dream of suburban perfection is built around a variety of such ideologically conservative values and ideals as the importance of tradition, the centrality of the nuclear family, the desire for a community of like-minded neighbors, the need for clearly defined gender roles, and the belief that with hard work and determination, anyone can succeed. Building on the relationships between suburban life and American identity, Look Closer examines and interprets recent narratives that challenge the suburban ideal to reveal how directors and producers are mobilizing the spaces of suburbia to tell new kinds of stories about America. David R. Coon argues that the myth of suburban perfection, popularized by postwar sitcoms and advertisements, continues to symbolize a range of intensely debated issues related to tradition, family, gender, race, and citizenship. Through close examinations of such films as American Beauty, The Truman Show, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith as well as such television series as Desperate Housewives, Weeds, and Big Love, the book demonstrates how suburbia is used to critique the ideologies that underpin the suburban American Dream.
