To be precise, it's a story told by a Japanese pickpocket about how he got caught up in an armed robbery staged by a Tokyo gangster, years ago. Now he is back in Tokyo picking pockets again, and the gangster comes calling once more. His already dangerous life is complicated by his unwilling involvement with a child shoplifter and his prostitute mother. This book fairly rattles along and Nakamura crowds quite a bit of plot and character development in his short novel. There are a satisfying number of twists and turns, although nothing particularly jaw-dropping in terms of plot surprises. This is a really well-paced and entertaining story by a crime writer to keep an eye on. ¿Crees en el destino?... El ladrón es un carterista experto. Sus víctimas solo son para él extraños, rostros sin nombre a los que robar. No tiene familia, ni amigos, ni relaciones.... Pero tiene un pasado, un pasado del que se vio obligado a huir tras realizar un trabajo aparentemente fácil: atracar a un viejo rico para robar el contenido de su caja fuerte, nadie tenía que salir herido. A su regreso a Tokio, el ladrón se verá de nuevo atrapado por los acontecimientos en una intriga de la que ni siquiera él podrá escapar.
In simpler times, in simpler tales, authors pitted heroes against villains, and there was no confusion about who wore the black hat and who the white. We no longer live in those simple times, and most of us have grown bored with those simple tales. We want, in the books we read, something that at least approaches the complexity of the lives we lead outside of those books. AuszeichnungenPrestigeträchtige Auswahlen
The Thief is a seasoned pickpocket. Anonymous in his tailored suit, he weaves in and out of Tokyo crowds, stealing wallets from strangers so smoothly sometimes he doesn't even remember the snatch. Most people are just a blur to him, nameless faces from whom he chooses his victims. He has no family, no friends, no connections. But he does have a past, which finally catches up with him when Ishikawa, his first partner, reappears in his life, and offers him a job he can't refuse. It's an easy job: tie up an old rich man, steal the contents of the safe. No one gets hurt. Only the day after the job does he learn that the old man was a prominent politician, and that he was brutally killed after the robbery. And now the Thief is caught in a tangle even he might not be able to escape. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
