TrtERARY Review
The Deaf Man is bacic . . .
Gloria Stanford was very sexy, very rich and very, very dead. Found in her plush city apartment, she had been shot twice in the heart. All her credit cards and i.d. were gone but apart from that there seemed no motive at all. It's only when the detective-in-charge, Steve Carella, starts to receive bizarre cryptic notes in the mail that he realises that something bigger than a simple homicide is going on. For it quickly emerges that the Deaf Man is back, a notorious crook and killer from years before, and he seems to have acquired a morbid fascination with the works of William Shakespeare in the interim. Long thought dead, he's back on the loose and wants to make it big. The question is: what's he after?
But as the notes flood into Steve Carella's office - each more convoluted than the last - the 87th Precinct get no closer to the truth. Perhaps the answer lies with a beautiful prostitute who seems to be organizing the deliveries? Or with the brutal murder of a notorious pimp? Either way, the clock is ticking and this is one puzzle that Carella must solve
FIARK! is the new masterpiece from one of crime writing's true greats. Absorbing, powerful and layered, it shows an author at his best - and a great criminal at his worst . . . Vissza
