Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. “Murder Is My Dish” is the fourth of the twenty Chet Drum novels that Stephen Marlowe left us. Although on its surface this is yet another hardboiled PI series, the Drum novels each begin with a typical PI case in the states, but then the action always shifts overseas to an exotic locale. This time the action involves Drum in a case spanning two continents and a mission of vengeance against the corrupt security chief of an imaginary corrupt Latin American country, Parana, sandwiched in next to Paraguay. From fights along the New York waterfront to kidnappings on the highways and a battle fought in a tenement leaving bodies strewn everywhere, the action never stops. And, it only gets better when Drum heads down to Parana to rescue a damsel in distress, fight for truth and justice, and get himself involved in a revolution against a brutal dictatorship.

A kidnapped intellectual and a dead partner take Drum to South America When Andy Dineen tires of the FBI, he jumps ship for Langley and joins the CIA to fight the Cold War in Berlin. After years in the spy game, he grows sick of the paperwork, and is considering his options when an old friend, private detective Chester Drum, offers him a job. Drum is surprised when his old academy classmate takes him up on it, and shocked when it gets Dineen killed. Dineen's first and last case is a stint as a bodyguard for a South American intellectual who's writing an exposé of his nation's savage dictator. When the strongman's thugs kidnap the author and bludgeon Dineen, Drum rushes to the hospital just in time to watch his friend die. Avenging Dineen will mean a trip to South America, and infiltrating a palace whose secret police are not half as dangerous as the despot's daughter. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
