Pertence a SérieChester Drum (10)
Drum guards a killer against an assassin with diplomatic immunity Everybody knows George Brandvik killed Jorgen Kolding. As soon as the jury acquits him, Brandvik sells his story to View magazine, confessing to the crime in exchange for a payday. Once the magazine hits newsstands, the death threats start rolling in--semi-literate garbage which nevertheless must be taken seriously. A reporter from View hires private detective Chester Drum to protect Brandvik, and an hour hasn't gone by before Drum saves the killer's life, disarming a Swedish blonde before she can plug Brandvik in the gut. She is the dead man's daughter, and her diplomatic immunity means she will be deported, not prosecuted. But before she leaves, her bloodlust must be sated. That afternoon, the reporter and his driver are killed by a car bomb, and Drum sees the Swedish girl fleeing the scene. Soon Brandvik is dead too, gunned down in his bathroom. Drum books tickets to Iceland, to learn if this waifish blonde is really as deadly as she seems. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This one takes him to both Iceland and Sweden and involves a man who was acquitted of a brutal murder of a diplomat, but then confesses to it in a national magazine, Cold War tensions, death threats, a blonde with a motive, an Icelandic stewardess, LSD, car bombings, and a fast paced violent action-filled story.
Although all of the Drum novels are worth reading, the underlying plot in this one is a bit confusing. It's such a good book, though, that hardly matters. And Marlowe does a great job of storytelling. ( )
