Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  connie53 | May 28, 2021 |   Lin456 | Oct 20, 2020 | I've read Saints of New York for the Ezzulia Reading Club and I had therefor received a free copy of this book. I want to thank the publisher of the Dutch version for its generosity! I've read three books by RJ Ellory so far, and I've liked them all. They are said to be literature thrillers, and although that is a term that is widely used in The Netherlands (not always correctly, I would rather say, mostly incorrectly) Ghostheart by RJ Ellory was the first book I thought was really a combination between literature and thriller. So, I was really glad when I got the chance of reading this new book by RJ Ellory. It didn't disappointed me. I liked reading it, thought it to be very interesting. The writing style was a little bit less literate than in the other books I've read by Ellory, but I think it had to do with the main character being a hard police-officer instead of for example a writer. It was still very readable. I am planning on reading the other books as well, but there are still so many books waiting... (  ) Floratina | May 26, 2016 | The main character is Frank Parrish a detective with NYPD. He has a few issues, he has to see the shrink every day and he is also feeling the heavyweight of his dead Father who was a top Policeman in his day. There is a serial killer going round killing young girls, Frank digs a bit deeper follows up on his instinct and with a bit of luck stops the killer before he goes on to do more killings. The murders arent really the main bit of the story it is Frank coming to terms with his life and future. Well written worth a read book. (  ) Daftboy1 | May 20, 2014 | 2 boeken om mijn engels een beetje op pijl te houden. De schrijver is erg goed, dat wist ik al. Het verhaal is mooi. Een stoere moeilijke agent die met iedereen moeite heeft en om een zaak op te lossen de grens over gaat. Leukste scene als al die bovengenoemde personen elkaar ontmoeten in het ziekenhuis als Frank daar opgenomen is. Goed boek. (  ) pjotrb | Sep 20, 2013 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"By the author of A Quiet Belief in Angels, praised by Michael Connelly as "a beautiful and haunting book," Saints of New York is a powerful new crime novel. The death of a young heroin dealer causes no great concern for NYPD Detective Frank Parrish--Danny Lange is just another casualty of the drug war. But when Danny's teenage sister winds up dead, questions are raised that have no clear answers. As the homicides continue--and a disturbing pattern emerges--Frank tries desperately to make some sense of the deaths, while battling with his own demons. Trying to live up to the reputation of his father, John--not only a legendary NYPD detective, but also one of the original "Saints of New York"--the men charged with the responsibility of ridding New York of the final vestiges of Mafia control in the 1980s--Parrish struggles to come to terms with the broken pieces of his own life. But, as the murders escalate, he must discover the truth behind them before there are further innocent victims Dark and intense, Saints of New York is a novel of corruption and redemption, of the relentless persistence required to find the truth, and of one man's search for meaning amidst the ghosts of his own conscience"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
