Bingo Riggs, a man who wants to get rich quick, and his partner 'Handsome' Kusak, a photographer with a phenomenal memory and slow wits, were a hoot - a bit like Abbot and Costello, stumbling into situations that get progressively more complicated (in this case by the fact that people they are trying to do a deal with keep ending up murdered). Not as good as Home Sweet Homicide, the only other Rice book I have read, but good enough I will try another. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Resourceful Bingo Riggs and his partner, Handsome Kusak, are in the sucker-bait business, snapping candid pics of tourists off Central Park. Their fly-by-night enterprise can be irresistible to souvenir lovers, but with one camera in a pawnshop and their developing room in the bathtub of a two-room dump near Hell's Kitchen, their venture is wretchedly underexposed-until they stumble upon an insurance fraud scheme between the allegedly dead eccentric Mr. S. S. Pigeon and his business partner and beneficiary. There's only one way for Bingo and Handsome to muscle in on that half-million-dollar claim: Kidnap Pigeon and blackmail his coconspirator. Unfortunately, their foolproof plan comes with mobsters, a dodgy chorus girl, multiple murders, a refrigerated corpse, and the strange Mr. Pigeon himself, who, it seems, likes being a hostage. In fact, he has no intention of escaping. It's the surest way to protect his own secret-which could be Bingo and Handsome's biggest threat. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
