Produktbeschreibung

Welcome to the Hotel Noir, peerless gem of hospitality and sole holder of a Michelin star on the island of St. Germaine.
When the controversial American author Francis Stein is stabbed to death in the hotel's environs, the search for his murderer takes islander Bat Manley north to the other half of Stein's double life, south to St. Germaine's vice-ridden slums, and finally into the realm of the psyche, where the blind see and the dead speak.
A kaleidoscopic striptease of the human soul, Hotel Noir will make you sweat.

"A noirish combination of F. Scott Fitzgerald and early P. D. James on steroids, as told by a narrator who knows how to weave a web and pull you in without your realizing that you are caught... an intriguing literary crime novel filled with wonderfully zany characters Agatha Christie would have killed for." NY Journal of Books

"I'm thoroughly intrigued by this novel, though not necessarily for straightforward reasons. I think what has hooked me is that it doesn't seem like anything else. Casper Silk has a wholly unique voice. It's an entirely bizarre one, too, and Hotel Noir is a dark yet evocative portrait of an island quickly changing, a hotel of another era, and a man caught in the midst."

Autorenporträt

Casper Silk, author of the literary suspense novels HOTEL NOIR and ECHO YEAR, has been called "cagey and poetic" and compared to F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Mann, Graham Greene, P.D. James "on steroids" and J.G. Ballard.

Silk is the pseudonym of award-winning author Germaine Shames, whose works defy easy categorization, combining elements of literary and genre fiction, and straying from the straight-and-narrow of chronology into a kaleidoscopic striptease of the human soul.
