I picked it up and started it a half-dozen times before finishing it, but it is a good book for mystery lovers. It is sometimes hard for me to get into books that are set in a different time period. This is set in the '50s during the early Hollywood days and stars an interesting protagonist - an ex-film cowboy - who has recently been released from prision and has burned most of his bridges with the exception of his former "Indian" co-star. Once I finally got into the story - about halfway through the book - I found myself forgetting that this wasn't set in the 1980s or even in current times. With the exception of the casual misogyny and racism, that is. Once you get into the meat of why the stepdaughter, Clea, is missing, it certainly takes on a more modern edge. I ultimately enjoyed it, but some of the non-PC language is a bit jarring. It is appropriate for the time period, but I sometimes forget that people used to speak this way.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)John Ray Horn Series (Book 1) Prijzen
Once he was Sierra Lane, hero to countless youngsters in a series of B-movie westerns. Now, after two years in prison, John Ray Horn lives on the margins of post-World War II Los Angeles. His wife has left him, and, blacklisted by the studios, he makes ends meet by collecting debts for his old Indian co-star, Joseph Mad Crow. Then an old friend, Scotty, contacts Horn. He has come across some obscene photos, including one, several years old, of Horn's stepdaughter, Clea. Within days, Scotty is dead, and Clea has run away. Horn's search takes him from neon-lit ocean-front piers to wooded canyons, from rich homes in the Hollywood Hills to Central Avenue, the Harlem of LA, a street rich in jazz and corruption. But will the on-screen tough-guy hero be able to sustain his role off-screen? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
