Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Harrry and Crystal caught in the middle of the McCarthy Hearings 'Dennis Broe has done it again. On the one hand, we have his usual electrifying prose, dense atmospheric feel for LA, and sharp plotting. On the other, we have the sneaking sense that the backdrop of the 1950s Hollywood blacklist is becoming our own backdrop'-Toby Miller, author of Why Journalism A Polemic.'Broe's novel, written in the terse, laconic hard-boiled style of Hammett and Chandler, is a gripping insight into the double-dealings, lies and betrayals that permeated Hollywood - and much of American society - during the time of HUAC and the infamous blacklist. Full of evocative descriptions and crisp dialogue, this murder mystery captures the feel of the period, oozing knowledge and understanding about the perfidiousness of studio bosses and the misery their craven conformism inflicted on their creative staff, especially writers'--Andrew Spicer, University of Bristol, UK and author of Film Noir'The Dark Ages tells an interesting tale of intrigue during a dark time in US history. The author deftly follows in the hardboiled tradition of detective thrillers, with plenty of twists and turns. All in all, a good read.'-Michael D Yates, Editor Monthly Review.'The novel provides a compelling and entertaining blend of private eye fiction (with a few nods to Chandler); expertly researched analysis of the structural roots of the blacklist; and a radical critique with implications for now as well as then. I particularly like the mix of fictional and 'real' figures from that era and the revealing analysis of the way studio heads and others thought about filmmaking and the blacklist at the time-Brian Neve, The Many Lives of Cy Endfield: Film Noir, The Blacklist and Zulu'A damn good job. The writing style works well with the content. It's gripping and, I believe, reflects these events as they would have occurred. Couldn't put it down. And now, of course, I want to read the rest of the series'-Diana Anhalt, A Gathering of Fugitives: American Political Expatriates in Mexico 1948-65. Against the backdrop of a congressional investigation of Hollywood, PI Harry Palmer is hired by a blacklisted writer to collect his money from a cheating 'front,' beginning a trail of murder, betrayal, and lust that will bring Harry and Crystal close to losing their lives.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'An ingeniously plotted look at a side of postwar America we don't often see, and extremely relevant today.' --Ellen Clair Lamb, author, editor, and assistant editor of Books to Die For.'Dennis Broe has done it again! Private investigator Harry Palmer takes us on another twisting, careening ride through the noir underworld of early Cold War America, with racist, greedy, corrupt, violent, erotic Los Angeles as the backdrop. Palmer tears the veil off the nascent military-industrial complex as his escapades entangle him with sordid industrialists cavorting with unreconstructed Nazis in the midst of Henry Wallace's 1948 presidential campaign-the last gasp for progressive America as the country slides headlong into Cold War madness. Espionage, murder, and intrigue that will have you turning pages as fast as your eyes can follow.'-Peter Kuznick, co-author with Oliver Stone of The Untold History of the United States. 'Dennis Broe is an international expert on film noir.[whose] expansive knowledge informs his homage to past crime writers. Compelling characterization and clever dialogue.highlight a wonderfully compromised private detective, troubled clients, a cohort of devious criminals and plodding FBI muscle, all of which expands upon the political corruption at the heart of the US.' -- Paul Simon, Morning Star'[Through T]he author's ingenious plotting.[c]onnections are drawn among the seemingly most unrelated characters and backstories in a baroque explosion of tall tale-telling.unspooled with a fresh, hardboiled voice.If and when the major motion picture is ever made, they'd hardly have to hire another scriptwriter: The smart, snappy, arch dialogue is all here.' -- Eric Gordon, Better Lemons Most Prolific Critic Award, 2019.Semi-corruptible ex-LAPD cop Harry Palmer is hired by an African-American defense-industry worker who is a victim of workplace contaminants to help him get his pension from an airline industry which may be going bankrupt. Harry is also asked to plug a leak in the Henry Wallace presidential campaign which is sabotaging its efforts to get off the ground. As he follows a trail strewn with corpses and sex, confronting airline industry bigwigs, philandering generals, their lascivious wives, and an Okie foreman with ties to the Tulsa massacre, Harry starts making dangerous connections.Dennis Broe, a journalist and professor, is the author of the Harry Palmer L.A. Trilogy, the first book of which is Left of Eden and the third is The Precinct with the Golden Arm.…
