Nickel-Plated Soul
A Deets Shanahan Mystery
|
Hugh Dart served his 30 years for murdering his wife. When he is released from prison he hires Shanahan to find her. Is the man crazy?
Is this part of some clever scheme by one of the great political con artists of the times? Or maybe he's telling the truth. Shanahan's adventures take him to Chicago and Miami as he retraces history,
Dart's and his own. What he does to solve the case involves everyone, including his live-in girl-friend Maureen, and his occasional partner, the young, brash and irreverent Howie Cross.
“Easy prose, a fast-moving narrative, and a laconically likable protagonist; recommended.” — Library Journal “It's nice to see Deets still in there pitching.” — Kirkus Reviews “In a style reminiscent of Robert B. Parker at his best, Tierney concocts a meaty plot and complements it perfectly with rat-a-tat dialogue, oddball characters, bits of homespun philosophy, and delightfully dry humor. An outstanding entry in a first-rate, too-often overlooked hard-boiled series." — Booklist starred review Listed by Deadly Pleasures as one of the best mystery/crime novels of 2005 |
