Opis

Milo Milodragovitch is a once-successful divorce lawyer, who now prefers to spend his days drinking and staring out the window. That all changes when Helen Duffy walks into his office and asks him to find her missing brother. But this is far from a routine case, and whispers of a long-past crime haunt Milo's every move...

Recenzje

An exceptionally good example of the private-eye novel. Crumley writes about damaged people seen through a haze of jaded romanticism Newsweek
