Another reminder of why I love David Fulmer - he has a real gift for capturing the realism of street-level America, even the America of past decades. It is a rare talent to be able to transport foreign readers into another culture and leave them believing their surroundings are real. I have read several odf Mr Fulmer's other offerings and this one has been the best in an exceptional bunch. His characters - starting with chief protagonist Eddie Cero, a boxer-turned private-eye - are thoroughly engaging and the action well drawn. A pleasure to read. ( ) This unpretentious book about an Italian American fighter who falls into the PI trade builds well honed characters, doesn't give away the ending, feels "really" 1960s with details about technology, music, costs of living, etc., which brought that era back to me. Well written in a plain way, the author has a gift of making his characters alive with human faults and good qualities. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
