El socorrista y conductor de ambulancias Hansi Munz no da crédito a lo que ven sus ojos: una pareja de enamorados se besa con furia insaciable hasta terminar en el suelo. Pero su caída no se debe a la pasión carnal, sino a un tiro certero que pone fin a sus vidas. A Brenner, que acaba de incorporarse a su nuevo trabajo en el Servicio de Ambulancias, este asesinato le trae sin cuidado porque ya ha colgado las botas de detective; sin embargo, su jefe se alegra de tener en sus filas a un antiguo sabueso y, en la lucha encarnizada por el monopolio del Servicio de Ambulancias en Viena, pretenderá utilizarlo para atajar de una vez por todas las malas artes de la competencia. ( ) Also the third volume of the Simon Brenner series was thrilling. Brenner is currently working in Vienna as a paramedic driver. When there are murders within the troop, the boss requested that Brenner try to uncover this. Brenner discovers that colleagues are trading drugs. It will be difficult for Brenner who he still can trust. This series of murder mysteries are published in the US by Melville House. This publisher markets several series of "international" mysteries. This novel is set in Vienna with a former policeman who has found a new job as an EMT. While he is employed he learns that the private company he works for is involved in corruption and murder in order to rob the elderly rich. Then there are more murders to cover up the first murders. The novel is full of understated Germanic humor that might fly right over the heads of most American's, but if you understand this kind of cultural humor this is a really funny novel. Haas has a great cast of secondary characters, which is usual in his Brenner novels, that add to the fun and games. This is also a literary/musical novel in that the title is referencing one of the songs out of St. Matthew's Passion by Bach. This is the best of the Simon Brenner novels published in English. But doggone it - why can't Brenner have some sort of romantic relationship. Just once. Brenner hat nun auch seinen Detektivjob an den Nagel gehängt und fährt als Rettungsfahrer. Doch leider bleiben auch hier Verbrechen nicht aus. Aufgrund seiner vorherigen Berufserfahrung wird Brenner von seinem Chef beauftragt, den Konkurenzrettungsdienst ein bisschen auszuspitzeln. Hören die möglicherweise den Funk ab? Aber harmlos ist das nicht lange: Schnell geht es um Korruption und Mord. Wie alle Brenner-Bücher besticht auch dieses durch die Sprache, den ins Hochdeutsche gegossenen Umgangsprachenton. Ein Ich-Erzähler plaudert dahin und liefert nebenbei die entlarvendsten Einsichten und die witzigsten Abschweifungen. Ganze Seiten könnte ich da unterstreichen, so gut finde ich das Buch. Der Krimi selbst ist nicht schlecht. Aber die eigentliche Hauptrolle spielt die Sprache. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Another dark and funny crime novel by the author Carl Hiaasen has called "the real deal." The fourth Brenner book finds the detective in Vienna, uncovering corruption in the ambulance business...and just barely escaping with his life in the process. Disillusioned ex-cop Simon Brenner decides to take a job as an ambulance driver, in the hopes of getting away from the drudgery and corruption in the police force, and finding a "worthy profession." But the ambulance service he goes to work for has a problem--their major competitors are beating them to every pick-up, somehow listening on their radio communications. And Brenner can't help being just a little bit curious about this chance to do some detective work. Things turn considerably darker as he digs deeper, and it turns out that ambulance services are, literally, a cutthroat business. And there are people who don't want their business exposed. Brenner races around summertime Vienna, lights flashing, siren blaring, in a desperate attempt to fit it all together before there's another dead body on his conscience. A caustic and hilarious new installment in the Brenner series"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
