Dwarf detective, telekinesis, spies, how can u go wrong ( ) Very satisfying book that makes me eager to see what Peter Dinklage does in the role of Mongo Fredrickson, former circus star and current dwarf-private investigator & criminology professor. Bear in mind this is a 1970's-era series, and I don't know if the upcoming adaptation will be a period piece or made contemporary. Even so, good solid characters and mysteries. Recommended...even if the series has been out of print a while. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A former circus performer and criminology professor becomes a PI in "one of the best detective novels of the year" (TheNew York Times Book Review). With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson--better known as "Mongo the Magnificent"--has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf. Now a detective in New York City, Mongo is hired by the widow of a famous architect to find out if her husband is really dead--because a new building just went up and it looks like his work. As Mongo begins to uncover the surprising truth, his investigation gives a whole new meaning to an architect's façade. The intrepid sleuth will need all of his extraordinary skills to find his man without losing his own life, as some very powerful forces want to send him back to the drawing board. With a freewheeling blend of mystery and science fiction elements, author George C. Chesbro introduces the man called Mongo, "the most engaging detective in decades" (Library Journal). Shadow of a Broken Man is the 1st book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
