Trouble Is My Name is an action-packed Cold War thriller that takes Drum to the divided Germany of the late fifties. He tangles with Communists, ex-Nazis, and fortune hunters both in West Germany and behind the iron curtain in East Berlin - although interestingly this was written a few years before the construction of the Berlin Wall where a journey between the two sides involved getting through guard posts but not having to brace that barrier. The story feels far more like an espionage adventure story than a private eye caper. It is quite a good read but has a darkness and a gloom about it. ( ) näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

A missing politician sucks Drum into the three-ring circus of Cold War Germany On the eve of becoming a vice-presidential candidate, Fred Severing vanishes in Germany, where he made his name twelve years earlier during the madness that followed World War II. To find the American, his party hires globe-trotting private detective Chester Drum, and it isn't long before Drum's investigation lands him in the Rhine River along with an elderly war criminal. Drum is meeting with Wilhelm Rust, a mid-level ex-Nazi, when Communist spies storm their boat. Drum jumps into the river, taking Rust with him, and inadvertently saves the ex-Nazi's life. His investigation may be all wet, but Drum isn't one to quit. Finding Severing will mean lying to West Germans, East Germans, and Nazis, and perfecting the triple-cross that is the favorite pastime of European Cold Warriors. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
