The Strangler
Book (italiano):
<b>Before the <i>New York Time</i>s bestselling success of <i>Defending Jacob,</i> William Landay wrote this widely acclaimed second novel of crime and suspense, which was named a Favorite Crime Novel of the Year by the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> and several other newspapers.</b><br> <b> </b><br> Boston, 1963. Meet the charming, brawling Daley brothers. Joe is a cop whose gambling habits have dragged him down into the city's underworld. Michael is a lawyer, always the smartest man in the room. And Ricky is the youngest son, a prince of thieves whose latest heist may be his last. For the Daleys, crime is the family business—they're simply on different sides of it. Then a killer, a man who hunts women with brutal efficiency and no sign of stopping, strikes too close to the Daley home. The brothers unite to find the Strangler, a journey that leads to the darkest corners of Boston—and exposes an even deeper mystery that threatens to tear the family apart.<br> <br> <b>“Reminiscent of Dennis Lehane's <i>Mystic River</i>, the novel takes us into a dark world where goodness is smothered and villainy thrives. . . . I was completely riveted.”—<i>The Boston Globe</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> <b>“A dense and satisfying novel of crime and retribution . . . [Landay has] been touted as the natural successor to George V. Higgins.”—<i>The Independent</i></b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>“A gripping, atmospheric saga.”—<i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b><br> <br> <b>“An impressive and satisfying performance.”—<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>“Smart and surprising.”—<i>Esquire</i></b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>NAMED ONE OF THE BEST CRIME NOVELS OF THE YEAR BY</b><br> <b><i>Los Angeles Times • The Guardian • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • The Kansas City Star</i></b>
