Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

It's particularly quiet on Martha's Vineyard this summer, since a shadowy figure called "the Silencer" began his covert campaign of destruction -- disabling the audio systems in the homes and vehicles of selfish, music-blasting islanders. A respite from the unwanted noise suits fishing enthusiast, former cop, and sometime investigator J.W. Jackson just fine -- until a gargantuan new Chappaquiddick mansion is vandalized and a night watchman is thrown to his death off a nearby cliff. Hired by the aristocratic mother of the most likely suspect to help prove her son's innocence, J.W. starts to explore some mysterious connections linking the Vineyard's most prominent families. But digging up the dirty secrets of the island elite may only inflame a murderer who's not done killing -- and hasten J.W.'s own journey to the graveyard.Read more Continue reading Read less REVIEW"As ever, Craig depicts the island's residents with humor and affection." -- Publishers Weekly"The Martha's Vineyard mysteries are a breath of fresh air, with a touch of murder most foul." -- Rocky Mountain News"Well-constructed and well-paced, with humor and suspense, this outing shows Craig in fine form." -- Publishers Weekly"Craig paints the island so vividly that readers can almost smell the sea breezes." -- Booklist"Spending time with author Craig on Martha's Vineyard is the next best thing to vacationing on the island itself." -- MinneapolisStar-Tribune"It wouldn't be summer without a new Martha's Vineyard Mystery." -- Boston Herald"[J.W. Jackson's] a marvelous extension of John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee and maybe even Don Quixote." -- Florida Times-UnionPraise for Cliff Hanger: "An entertaining, engaging detective." -- Chicago Tribune "Diabolically clever . . . Craig vividly portrays the island mystique." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch"Perfect . . . fun . . . enjoyable." -- Los Angeles Daily News"Readers will be inclined to dig their toes into the sand and settle in." -- Boston Globe"A most pleasant trip." -- BooklistABOUT THE AUTHORPhilip R.

He apparently needed a caffeine hit to keep him going for the rest of his shift. "What's up on the mean streets?" I asked. "Well," he said, "Mickey Gomes escaped from jail last night and hasn't come back." The county jail in Edgartow.
