The street-smart, cynical, neurotic, and bisexual detective Duffy scrutinizes an unsavory lot of dope addicts and misplaced gentry--all weekend guests at a stately English country home--to identify a murderer
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Dan Kavanagh was born in County Sligo in 1946. Having devoted his adolescence to truancy, venery and petty theft, he left home at seventeen and signed on as a deckhand on a Liberian tanker. After jumping ship at Montevideo, he roamed across the Americas taking a variety of jobs: he was a steer-wrestler, a waiter-on-roller-skates at a drive-in eatery in Tucson, and a bouncer in a gay bar in San Francisco. He is currently working in London at jobs he declines to specify, and lives in north Islington.
Strange things happen in the countryside. And for bisexual private detective Duffy, this is his strangest case yet.
Summoned to a country mansion following an unusual murder, Duffy finds the house awash with potential suspects. Does Vic Crowther, the man who called on Duffy in the first place,
have a far more sinister motive up his sleeve? Or perhaps his wife, the ex-page three model, knows more than she's letting on . . .

DESCRIPTION - GOING TO THE DOGS is Dan Kavanagh's third thriller to be published by Pantheon featuring the street-smart, cynical, neurotic, bisexual Duffy. This time Duffy is tempted away from his normal low-life London beat by a telephone call from the country mansion of Vic Crowther, an old and dubious acquaintance. A body has been found in the library. A body in the library? That sound familiar. But neither the body nor the library nor the country mansion are at all what they seem. This is not the world of Agatha Christie and genteel murder among the cucumber sandwiches. Dan Kavanagh's thriller is firmly set in the on-the-make Britain of the 1980s, where new money talks loud, old vices flourish, and the people you run into during a country-house weekend are the sort you might very well not want to ask home to meet your mother. As Duffy's stay at Braunscombe Hall is prolonged, he finds himself with an epidemic of crime on is hands and a houseful of suspects, who don't always take to Duffy. Even their legal behavior isn't always very nice. Duffy begins to worry that the country is going to the dogs. inventory #27827. N° de réf. du vendeur z27827
