Opis

Rocco Klein, veteran homicide detective, has had enough of life on the edge. When a summer night brings another drug-related murder he has no sense that the case is anything special. Then a man steps forward to confess but a little digging reveals he's never been in trouble, whereas his half-brother has.

Recenzje

'The most heralded work of fiction to come out of New York since Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities ...While Wolfe's high-rollers only dipped a toe into the dark side, Price gives us all the raw detail of the street...timely, majestic' Time Out

O autorze

Richard Price spent four years with dealers and cops on the streets of urban America researching the raw material for Clockers. His first novel, The Wanderers, was a literary sensation when it was published in 1974. Three other novels followed - Bloodbrothers, Ladies' Man, and The Breaks, but more recently Price has become one of Hollywood's most successful screenwriters. The Color of Money - for which he received an Oscar Nomination - and Sea of Love are two of his credits. Clockers was directed by Spike Lee and starred Harvey Keitel and John Turturro.
