The Complete Cases of Malachi Manatee (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

He inherited millions, a bad leg from Tarawa, and a taste for cleaning up the town he calls home. Malachi Manatee is a six-foot-four Floridian, magnetic, brooding, and more comfortable with his fists than with polite society. Alongside his ex-Marine friend and narrator Tack Hinton-lungs scarred by war-and the fierce, red-haired Ilene Carver, Malachi prowls Bay City and nearby resort towns rooting out crooked cops, corrupt politicians, and murderous greed.

William R. Cox's Malachi Manatee stories are pulp at its best: terse dialogue, bare-knuckle action, sudden reversals, and wry characterization. Set on Florida's Gulf coast and written in the lean, muscular style that influenced later Gulf-State sleuths, these nine tightly plotted tales follow Malachi from his first caper to his last stand. The Complete Cases of Malachi Manatee collects the entire series as they originally appeared-restored, uncut, and impossible to put down.
