Narra la trepidante investigación del teniente Vincent Mora para esclarecer el asesinato de una muchacha en el marco turbio, deslumbrante, violento y codicioso de los casinos y clubes nocturnos de Atlantic City. La indagación le conduce hasta Teddy, maníaco al que años antes Vincent había llevado a la cárcel por violación. ahora, Teddy, en sus propósitos criminales, sólo tiene una obsesión. matar a Vincent. 'The night Vincent was shot he saw it coming...'After being shot by a mugger, Lt. Vincent Mora is convalescing in Puerto Rico. There he meets Iris, a beautiful young woman who is bored and frustrated, looking for excitement and a new life. Then she is offered a job as a 'hostess' at a casino in Atlantic city by Tommy Donovan. But Vincent figures out there is more to this job than Iris realises and he decides to pay Donovan a visit. To complicate matters, Iris isn't the only one interested in Vincent - he is being stalked by a man he sent down seven and a half years before, a man out to get his revenge. Glitz by Elmore Leonard is simply a fun and easy to read book of the crime genre containing no lessons to steal away with or heavy philosophical points to ponder. It is easy to see why author Leonard's works are so often transformed into screenplays. Glitz started out with a bang, literally, and had me laughing out loud as Vincent, the police detective, began to sound like Woody Allen wearing a shoulder harness for his 9mm automatic, and possessing a wicked right hook. Elmore Leonard paints the picture and, in a delightful manner, shoots his character's messages across with very few adjectives and adverbs, so that the reader doesn't feel he is reading some formula-derived 'paint-by-numbers' novel. If a person needs to pick up a book or two for the weekend, the beach, any trip to the airport or for the typical waits in either the lines of the government Social Security Administration or Post Office, you can't go wrong by purchasing a non-pretentious Elmore Leonard paperback to enjoy. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
