Muy buena novela policial sobre un asesino a sueldo que es traicionado por los mafiosos que le encargaron el trabajo y debe salvar su vida. Mientras lo persigue una agente algo atolondrada. Si bien la vuelta de tuerca se puede adivinar relativamente rápido, no por ello pierde ritmo la novela. ( ) A rising analyst in the Justice Department, Elizabeth Waring, finds an improbable link between the death by dynamite of a union representative and the deadly heart attack of a U.S. Senator from Colorado. As it turns out, both were killed by an assassin working for the Mafia, who seeks retribution when they try to kill him too. Fast paced and Perry won a prestigious award for this, his first novel. Mafia hit man The Butcher's boy kills a senior Senator from Colorado. His troubles start when he travels to Las Vegas to collect his $200,000 fee. Now it seems he's become a liability and he becomes the pursued. Other hired killers are sent after The Butcher Boy but none prove to be successful. Will he find out who hired him and who wants him dead. A great first thriller from Thomas Perry. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:The Edgar Award–winning novel by the “master of nail-biting suspense”(Los Angeles Times) Thomas Perry exploded onto the literary scene with The Butcher’s Boy. Back in print by popular demand, this spectacular debut, from a writer of “infernal ingenuity” (The New York Times Book Review), includes a new Introduction by bestselling author Michael Connelly. Murder has always been easy for the Butcher’s Boy—it’s what he was raised to do. But when he kills the senior senator from Colorado and arrives in Las Vegas to pick up his fee, he learns that he has become a liability to his shadowy employers. His actions attract the attention of police specialists who watch the world of organized crime, but though everyone knows that something big is going on, only Elizabeth Waring, a bright young analyst in the Justice Department, works her way closer to the truth, and to the frightening man behind it. Praise for The Butcher’s Boy “A stunning debut . . . a brilliantly plotted thriller.”—The Washington Post “A shrewdly planned and executed thriller.”—The New York Times Book Review “Thomas Perry has hit the mark.”—Houston Chronicle “Totally enthralling.”—The New Yorker.
