Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Julian Barnes escribió como divertimento una serie de novelas policiales, esta es la primera de la serie. Esta por supuesto bien escrita, pero me parece que se le nota mucho el "divertimento" y pierde un poco las riendas de la novela negra. Un ex policía bi sexual, es contratado para descubrir quien está extorsionando a un "honesto comerciante", y aparecen los que le hicieron la camita para separarlo de la fuerza, y algunos mafiosos. Me parece que habrá que darle una segunda oportunidad ( ) First of the four novels featuring ex-copper Duffy, written under a pseudonym by Julian Barnes. Released from literary constraint, he takes us into a sleazy world. Fab! Full review on my blog: http://annabookbel.net/20-books-summer-julian-barnes-only-story-dan-kavanagh-duf...

In the grimy underbelly of London, private detective Duffy takes on an extortion case and finds himself pitted against one of the city's most dangerous crime lords Rosie McKechnie was alone when the two men entered her home, tied her to a chair, and cut her with a switchblade. It was a message for her husband, Brian. To outside appearances, Brian McKechnie is just a businessman. But to Big Eddynbsp;Martoff, London's underworld kingpin, McKechnie is a big fat mark. With a history of crooked business deals and extramarital affairs, McKechnie is the perfect target. To beat back the blackmail, McKechnie needs someone who understands lowlifes like Martoff--and Nick Duffy knows lowlifes. Duffy was a copper until four years ago, when malicious rumors about his sex life ripped through the force. Now he is in private security, and McKechnie's case is one he cannot refuse. Duffy, no stranger to his city's seedier offerings, dives into a world of prostitutes, hoods, and porn moguls. Can he find a way to put the pinch on Big Eddy before Soho swallows him whole?
