Produktbeschreibung

Rennie Beausoleil and Werther Wolfe are middle-aged brothers-in-law whose edgy relationship dates back to their high school days when they struggled to outdo each other concocting imaginary "perfect" murders. Twenty years later, in the late 1980s, Beausoleil, a short-tempered, hard-drinking, skirt-chasing ex-homicide detective, has been sacked by the Minneapolis Police Department; "Wolfie," a brilliant psychopath, has grown tired of operating the preposterous scam that's made him and his wifeRennie's provocative half-sisterwealthy. Though no longer a cop, Beausoleil has not forgotten the unsolved execution-style murder, two decades earlier, of Kenny Hiltz, a hapless former classmate. In fact, he's convinced that Wolfie was Hiltz's killer, and now, restive and obsessed, he's determined at last to prove it. Wolfie knows his brother-in-law is hot on his case and is equally determined to one-up him yet again with a second all-too-real murder. And this time Wolfie's victim will be Rennie himself. The two men play their deadly, sometimes slapstick cat-and-mouse game in the deteriorating inner-city neighborhood where they grew up, surrounded by ex-wives and lovers, old pals and aging rivals, and a pair of bumbling homicidal thugsnone of whom seems capable of either escaping the troubled past or staving off a lethal future.
