After Dark, My Sweet - Chelsea Cain

Detalii:

nA classic crime novel about a kidnapping scheme gone wrong from Jim Thompsons, Americas Dimestore Dostoevsky. nWilliam Kid Collins was once a respected boxer. Now hes a drifter, on the run after escaping from a mental institution. n nOne afternoon he meets Fay, a beautiful young widow. She is smart and decent -- at least when shes sober. Soon Collins finds himself involved in a kidnapping scheme that goes drastically wrong almost before it even begins. Because the kid theyve picked up isnt like other kids: hes diabetic and without insulin, hell die. Not the safest situation for Collins, a man for whom stress and violence have long gone hand-in-hand. n nAfter Dark, My Sweet once again displays Jim Thompson as the undisputed master of American noir. The basis of James Foleys critically acclaimed film of the same name, with the sweep of an epic tragedy, Thompsons classic limns the dangerous territory of honest people all-too-easily sucked into wickedness, with no way out but down.n
