The quintessential noir story is where a man falls deeper and deeper into a hell of his own making. It's generally a story where the man falls deeper into quicksand and can't claw his way out. Cleaning Up Finn fits right into this genre. The lead character Finn is a lowlife scumbag loser who uses his position as the manager of a South Bay restaurant to pick up any sweet young thing who walked in - the younger the better. And uses his buddy's fancy cars and yacht to romance the young innocent. Finn's a lush, a conman, a scumball. This is the story of one such pickup and how it goes of the rails when he realizes to his eternal regret how young she really is and turns into a murder investigation and twists and turns as Finn dives headfirst into a tunnel to hell. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Sarah M. Chen's Anthony Award-nominated and IPPY Award-winning debut. Life is a constant party for restaurant manager, Finn Roose. When he seduces an underage woman on one of his booze cruises and loses her-literally, it sets off a massive search involving the police, her parents, and a private investigator. Finn is an expert manipulator but his endless lies only tighten the screws on himself and his unsuspecting best friend. Finn scrambles to make things right which may be too much to ask from a guy who can't resist a hot babe and a stiff drink. "Chen creates a compelling character with restaurant manager Finn Roose. Readers with certain taste (like me) will enjoy watching this self-deluded ladies man bumble from one mistake to another, trying to hide his involvement with a missing teenage girl. Sarah M. Chen creates a hybrid West Coast restaurant noir novella. A great read." -Travis Richardson, author Lost in Clover "A speedboat ride along the Southern California coastline where the sun shines a light on the lecherous locals. Finn Roose is an opportunistic restaurant manager who finally gets in over his head when he meets an underage femme fatale. Lives are shattered and bullets fly through the salty ocean air in this fast-paced debut from Sarah M. Chen." -S.W. Lauden, author of Bad Citizen Corporation and Crossed Bones "If you like your crime fiction the way Finn Roose likes his women, hard and fast, you'll love Sarah M. Chen's debut novella. A challenging, unsentimental look at a man who may be beyond redemption. Chen is a writer to watch." -Matt Coyle, author of the Anthony Award-winning Rick Cahill crime series "Cleaning Up Finn is a complex morality tale of debauchery, selfishness, sacrifice, and guilt. This romp of a noir through Southern California's South Bay will stay with you, challenging your ideas of poetic justice and leaving you wanting more from Sarah M. Chen." -James W. Ziskin, author of the Anthony, Barry, Macavity and Lefty Award nominated Ellie Stone mysteries "A gritty and compelling journey, Chen navigates the intricate labyrinth of great modern storytelling with believable style. I'll be tapping my foot waiting for more from this incredible author and more of her character Finn." -Darrell James, author of the award-winning Del Shannon series No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
