Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Michael Shayne (31)
A beachside slaying threatens to put Mike Shayne behind bars No one at the hotel gives a damn about Walter Carson. There aren't any letters for him at the front desk or calls at reception. Bellboys, waiters, and bartenders all ignore him. When he reaches out to strangers, they look away. He's alone in the world--and worse, he's gripped by an icy terror that follows him everywhere. One night, it catches up to him. Carson, unloved and unknown, is found dead with a bullet between his eyes. In the dead man's pocket, the police find a newspaper clipping about Mike Shayne, Miami's toughest private investigator. The local chief is convinced Shayne was connected to the murder, and he will do whatever is necessary to put the detective behind bars. Shayne can handle the cops--it's Carson's widow that he needs to worry about. Murder and the Wanton Bride is the 30th book in the Mike Shayne Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Belle Carter is introduced as one of the most voluptuous sirens ever to grace the pages of pulp fiction. "Belle Carson was a lot of woman. Long-legged, full-breasted, slim-waisted, she was a symphony in green and black as she stood facing Shayne in the hallway, sultry lips parted and sharp upper teeth showing, and there was the clean, acrid smell of gin in the air between them." Every mention of her oozes femme fatale, lushness, drunkenness, and Southern charm.
This Shayne mystery is full of action from start to finish. You would think it would get old with Shayne always running one step ahead of Painter, but it never does. Indeed, this may just be one of the best of the series. ( )
