Beskrivelse
'Raw reality. A tough, taut writer. Saves a gut-punch for the climax.' — The Washington PostIn the first book of Joe Gores's razor-sharp Daniel Kearny Associates series, a DKA investigator clings to life after a devastating car crash. The police are ready to write it off as a drunk driving incident, but the DKA team knows it was an attempted homicide. Now they have seventy-two hours to search the backstreets of San Francisco and find the truth about the 'accident' from a stripper, an embezzler, an ex-con, and other unsavory characters. Gores, a former detective and three-time Edgar Award–winner, spins a gritty, fast-moving tale that mystery lovers can't resist and compares with the best of Hammett and Chandler. This new edition of Dead Skip features a bonus DKA short story, 'File #2: Stakeout on Page Street.''A traditional American crime novel, out of Black Mask, Hammett, and Chandler. . . . The Continental Op could do no more. . . . [Gores] has come up with a winner.' — The New York Times'[Gores is] one of the very few authentic private eyes to enter the field of fiction since Dashiell Hammett.' — Anthony Boucher'The hard, compelling smack of raw truth.' — Ellery Queen, on the DKA File series
