Appartient à la sérieMichael Shayne (33)
A strange disappearance leads Mike Shayne to investigate a death on the open sea Mike Shayne is savoring a nightcap when his secretary calls in a panic. Lucy Hamilton doesn't scare easily and as soon as Shayne hears her voice, he knows this must be a matter of life and death. Hamilton's neighbor has vanished, and only Shayne knows Miami well enough to find him. One of only 2 survivors in a recent plane crash, Jasper Groat had been acting strange ever since his life was spared, and tonight, he walked away and didn't come back. The "lucky" survivor was carrying a deadly secret. During the 9 days he spent adrift at sea, Groat filled a diary with damning details about the accident and its aftermath. There are people who might kill to get their hands on the incriminating journal--that is, if Shayne doesn't find it first. Date with a Dead Man is the 32nd book in the Mike Shayne Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Date with a Dead Man was one of the first few of the ghost-written Michal Shayne novels. It's a solid fifties-era mystery involving a shipwreck at sea, the survivors on a tiny raft, and a wealthy family and worth reading. However, compared to early Shayne novels, this one was a bit light on actual action, lacked the ever-present hoodlums, and didn't have that mean streets feel. And, The story takes a little bit to get going. ( )
