George V. Higgins

Bomber's Law (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A winding tale of suspicion and intrigue, George V. Higgins skillfully recounts the story of elusive Short Joey Mossi. When detective sergeant Harry Dell'Appa went into enforced exile in the Berkshires to put an end to an ill-fated office romance, he didn't expect to be called back to Boston so soon. But desperate times…so the saying goes, and head detective Brian Dennison is keen for Short Joey Mossi, a suspected mob exterminator, to be arrested once and for all. Dell'Appa is called in to assist detective Bob Brennan, an old rival of his, who despite knowing all there is to know about Mossi, has never apprehended him. The plot thickens and Dell'Appa learns time and time again of the primacy of Bomber's Law: they always "do it for the money". In Bomber's Law, Higgins operates on a captivating policy of "partial disclosure", leaving the reader to piece together the plot, morsel by morsel.
