Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. The only one of the series I've read, but I thought it was good. Apparently the main character is a "professional go-between" which I've never heard of before, but the plot was good and the characters well-developed. Only comes in at a couple of hundred pages, pretty typical for an early 1970's thriller. I will read more if I happen to run across them. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A bungled hand-off lands St. Ives in jail on suspicion of murder It's three in the morning, and Philip St. Ives has come to the all-night Laundromat to meet a thief. His laundry bag isn't carrying dirty clothing--it's stuffed with $90,000 cash. But he finds his contact, Bobby Boykins, in no state to talk. Bobby has been beaten, strangled, and stuffed behind a washing machine; Philip is inspecting the corpse when the police find him. Standing in a Laundromat with a dead body and a sack full of cash, Philip learns, is a good way to get arrested. St. Ives is a go-between--a mediator between thieves and their victims--and he came to meet Bobby for the sake of a rich man who has lost his diary. If Philip can escape the Tenth Precinct, Bobby's killer will come for him next. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
