“Loren D. Estleman's knife-edged serial-killer thriller, "Gas"" City" is pared to its very bone... Estleman, in the leanest prose possible, brings to life not just his characters but the vices that fuel them and, in the process, exposes the gritty, ragged, sordid underbelly of urban life.

"“Shamus-winner Estleman, best known for his hard-boiled Amos Walker series ("American Detective," etc.), creates a new, morally complex world in this razor-sharp tale of crime and corruption in a fictional eastern U.S. city.... will justly be compared with that of James Ellroy's Los Angeles noir mysteries and John Gregory Dunne's "True Confessions." Admirers of unsparing crime fiction will hope that Estleman plans to visit Gas City again.” "—Publishers Weekly," starred review

"May be the prolific Estleman's most thought-provoking and emotionally engaging novel among the 60 or so he's written. Its subject is contemporary rust-belt politics as a human phenomenon and the way that a politician's compromises can affect both the citizenry at large and the individuals who make up that citizenry. Each of the half-dozen plotlines is executed flawlessly and presented in a context of moral ambiguity in which every choice--whether self-serving or altruistic--has consequences both good and evil. A magnificent crime novel."--"Booklist" (Starred Review)
"Portrait of a city by an old master... The chronically undervalued Estleman ( "American Detective," 2007, etc.) serves up what just might be the best novel about urban political corruption since Dashiell Hammett's The Glass Key."--"Kirkus" (Starred Review)

Descripción Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Calling upon his considerable novelistic skills, Loren D. Estleman exposes the black heart of a seemingly stable, well-run city suddenly pitched into violence and chaos. A delicate balance of forces-greed and corruption, ambition and desire-run out of control in the wake of a serial killer's grisly rampage.A power struggle-between a police chief who has looked the other way for too long, a Mafia boss who holds the city's vices in his powerful grasp, and media reporters looking for a big story-turns what has been a minor dispute into a desperate struggle for survival.Setting this drama, Gas City, in a blue-collar metropolis dominated by an oil company, Estleman, with an unerring eye for telling detail and an ear for dialogue that reveals the secret desires of his characters, crafts a fascinating, deadly tapestry of love, ambition, revenge, and redemption, a stunning portrait of the human condition.
