The back cover says it takes place in Florida, but the first 70 pages are in Russia and Boston or Dorchester or hell it doesn’t matter. The writing is amateurish, and the story goes nowhere. His talking penis- you can’t make this shit up, added nothing either. ( ) I was fortunate to receive an early copy of this marvelous book. Eddie Perlmutter grew up in Boston's North Side as a Jew in a sea of Italian Catholics. He became a cop who cared. He used his experience in the Golden Gloves to teach youngsters to box. After years of honorable services late fifties Eddie retired due to arthritis. He leaves the cold New England climate for the heart of Boca Raton assuming that the warmth will be good for his sore bones. However, Boca may be an elixir physically, but mentally he feels out of place. The longer he is retired he becomes restless, so he becomes involved in local criminal matters so to avoid legal trouble he gets a private investigator license. Excited by the sudden change in venue, Eddie gets involved with the Russian Mafia, the homicide of a golf pro, neo-Nazis and a lovely nurse earning him the title "Boca Knight" at least for his encounters with the first three contacts. Over the top with a zany offbeat humor, BOCA KNIGHTS is a delightful satirical crime caper that enhances the already capital of quirkiness, the South Florida private investigative world. The story line contains several suspenseful subplots that are fun to follow although at times can be humorously campy. With a strong cast of eccentric and dangerous individuals causing havoc, readers will enjoy this fast-paced tale; superbly held together by Eddie, who finds his niche stirring up seemingly anyone who resides along the I-95 corridor south of the Palms and north of Lauderdale after he failed miserably at retirement 101. This book gives Baby Boomers a senior citizen super man who could leap tall condos in a single bound. Eddie Perlmutter, my favorite social security super star is an imperfect baby boomer Batman. He’s 60 years old, virile, tough and incredibly fair. He does what every senior wishes he could still do. He’s an inspiration and he reminds the people around him that “Anyone can be a Boca Knight,” which he describes as “anyone willing to fight and die for everyone’s right to live in peace.” geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Eddie Perlmutter (1)
In a debut novel sure to both excite passions and elicit laughter, a different kind of hero emerges in that most unlikely criminal hotbed: Boca Raton. Eddie Perlmutter is capable of fighting with fearless frenzy, but only does so to defend the defenceless. Eddie's career as a much-honored Boston cop has come to an end. At sixty, he's still energetic and virile, but decades of harsh New England winters and collaring the pug-uglies of Boston's underworld have taken their toll--especially on his knees. So what does a lonely, retired cop with arthritic knees do? Head to sunny Florida, of course. Country-club politics and early-bird specials are a far cry from the street toughs, scuffles, and arrests of his former life. But some things never change. Instead of enjoying a relaxed, laid-back retirement, Eddie quickly discovers the darker side of Boca Raton's endless sun and palm trees, where hate crimes, counterfeiting, and worse lurk beneath the deceptively calm surface of cushy retirement communities. With his no-nonsense crime-fighting skills and roll-with-the punches attitude, Eddie hits Boca Raton like of a Nor'easter from Hell, fast, fresh, and unstoppable. A compulsively readable comic thriller with an egalitarian message that will inspire readers of all ages, "Boca Knights" will have readers in stitches and keep them on the edge of their seats.
