Ninety-Two in the Shade (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Tiring of the company of junkies and burn-outs, Thomas Skelton goes home to Key West to take up a more wholesome life. But things fester in America's utter South. And Skelton's plans to become a skiff guide in the shining blue subtropical waters place him on a collision course with Nichol Dance, who has risen to the crest of the profession by dint of infallible instincts and a reputation for homicide. Out of their deadly rivalry, Thomas McGuane has constructed a novel with the impetus of a thriller and the heartbroken humor that is his distinct contribution to American prose.

"Full of surprises and rewards and an exhilaration one feels only rarely." Newsweek on Ninety-Two in the Shade.
