Produktbeschreibung
In this beach town, where tourists party day and night, crime takes no vacation. Cabrones Perros is a rum-soaked crime-comedy in the style of Elmore Leonard's Swag and Stick. Though it can be read as a standalone piece, it concludes Manny Torres' Dog Trilogy. Fresh out of prison, ex-boxer Nolin is tasked with going to Odyssey, Florida, to have a man killed. On a parallel course are several underworld characters with their own agendas for heading into this crime-riddled city. Enforcers are en route to establish the family business on the Florida coast. This includes Shank, who was last seen in Perras Malas, dead-set on vengeance against those who killed her family. There is also the upcoming gangstress Shady, who's doing a soft takeover while going up against a family of Eastern-European human-traffickers on the brink of owning the city. These groups converge where drugs are cheap and human-trafficking is prevalent. There's a slow war gaining ground on all sides, clashing over the waterside territory. It can only end with scorched sand and severed heads.
Autorenporträt
Manny Torres is an Atlanta, Georgia, transplant from Brooklyn, New York. He pens loosely connected road-noir novellas that have made it to the LGBTQ+ crime bestseller's list. Dead Dogs is the first in the trilogy, which continues with Perras Malas (meaning Bad Bitches in Spanish), and concluding with this book, Cabrones Perros. His other book, Father Was a Rat King, was based on his experiences living in Baltimore, Maryland, and growing up in pre-gentrified New York City. A film fanatic from a very young age, Torres' favorite films are Mad Max, Jaws, 8 ¿, Fitzcarraldo, and It's a Wonderful Life. Inspired by Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock, Torres has been an abstract painter and photographer for 30+ years. His favorite band of all time is King Crimson, and he looks after several cats.
