Articoli correlati a The Dark Streets: A Jack Liffey Mystery: 0
The latest mystery in the critically acclaimed Los Angeles Times best-selling series takes private investigator Jack Liffey to LA's exotic Koreatown, where a young film student, Soon-Lin Kim, has apparently gone missing. Early in his search for her, Jack learns that Soon-Lin has been tangling with a giant Korean conglomerate intent upon evicting a handful of elderly women from their homes in downtown LA - women whom thet same conglomerate had forcibly recruited into prostitution during World War II. These "comfort women," as they were called, had been the subjects of the documentary Soon-Lin was filming when she disappeared.
But Jack is not the only one looking for Soon-Lin. Her association with a sinister, militant group of radical Asians has also set Homeland Security in her pursuit. Jack ultimately finds himself under torturously intense interrogation at a secret compound in the California desert.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. "Thoughtfulness, wit, well-rounded characters, and lean, readable prose."-Los Angeles Times Book Review"Shannon has written an intelligent, surprising book, found the heart of his -working-class characters, and delivered a first-rate thriller in the bargain."-George Pelecanos"The landscape of Los Angeles, both actually and metaphorically, has been deconstructed by writers from Chandler to Didion, but never quite as artfully as John Shannon does it."-James Crumley"Shannon's series is still on an upward trajectory. Liffey is a terrific character-smart, funny, sad, and a keen observer of social strata and the world at large. His journey after the truth is realistically messy, and we're with him every step of the way. If only all mystery novels were this good."-BooklistThe latest mystery in the critically acclaimed Los Angeles Times best-selling series takes private investigator Jack Liffey to Los Angeles' exotic Koreatown, where a young film student, Soon-Lin Kim, has apparently gone missing. But Jack is not the only one looking for Soon-Lin. Her association with a sinister militant group of radical Asians has also set Homeland Security in her pursuit. Again, bizarre details and compounding mysteries envelop Jack, and ultimately he finds himself under torturously intense interrogation at a secret compound in the desert-and ill-prepared for a climax as explosive as the violent lightning storm approaching on the horizon.
