Nice homages to The Big Sleep and Chinatown, I really enjoyed this first in the series novel. ( ) This first in a series is about PI Leo Waterman, hired to find the difficult daughter of a very rich and very dangerous man. So Leo hires his band of likable, almost homeless drunks to help. How can that be a good move? This mystery is funny and touching and does have some sadistic, rather disturbing scenes, but mostly, it is just a fun story. There are environmental vigilantes and poor decisions and generally chaos and mayhem. And yes, there is a reference to Wanda Fuca, and it was amusing but easily missed if you are not paying attention. As a hint, don't look for a lot of Wanda in this story. I borrowed this book through Kindle Unlimited. I don't normally read detective novels but the Northwest setting attracted me. Leo Waterman is a rumpled PI assisted by a motley crew of drunks and homeless after a mafioso-like elder seeks his help in getting his niece out of a terrorist environmental group. The setting is 1995 Seattle but Ford's descriptions make it seem more like the scrappy 1970s. Entertaining and colorful. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

When an old gangster friend of Leo's father makes a request he "can't refuse," Leo and his band of drunks, delve into the world of environmental politics in search of Caroline Nobel, a spoiled brat, without the sense God gave a gopher. With the help of "the Boys"--a group of aging winos who are his modern day "Baker Street Irregulars"--Leo fights Native American tribal politics, industrial pollution, and psychotic grannies to fulfill his obligation to a friend.
