Synopsis :

Book by Rayner Richard

Revue de presse: “A superb crime novel....Richard Rayner is a multitalented writer...Avidly captured feeling of a bygone world.” (Chicago Tribune)

“A classic piece of Hollywood noir, with a page-turning plot as tightly crafted as a Chinese puzzle.” (Seattle Times)

“This is rich territory, and Rayner makes skilled use of the postwar nuttiness and the cinematic milieu.” (New York Times Book Review)

“Entertaining and atmospheric period noir .... evokes Vegas with a [lively] eye.” (Dallas Morning News)

“A thriller as sharp as a new laser print of DOUBLE INDEMNITY.” (Kirkus Reviews (Starred))

“Thrilling ... Plot twists and betrayals, bomb blasts and unrequited love all add up to a classy neo-noir.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Rayner uses the unsettling realities beneath Las Vega’s glossy surfaces as symbols of a deeper and more sinister social corruption.” (Library Journal)
