20 years after his death, another brilliant book by the master
14. März 2011
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I've been a big fan of Rabe for decades, ever since I first read the likes of KILL THE BOSS GOOD-BYE, THE BOX, BENNY MUSCLES IN, and MURDER ME FOR NICKELS. Peter Rabe was the master of muscular crime writing, one of the very best that Gold Medal ever saw.
Now we get a posthumously published novel, a humorous novella, and a short hardboiled story. Collectively, we see just how great Rabe was across the board.
THE SILENT WALL is the tale of a WWII veteran returning to a small Sicilian village where he was stationed during the war. He's returned in the hopes of possibly finding his lost love, but instead finds only frustration and an ever-growing threat from the Mafia. After a small incident where he accidentally insults a mafiosa, he discovers that he can't leave town. Every time he tries some person or event stops him, until he realizes that it's all a part of his inevitable doom. He grows ever more and more frantic as he searches for escape, leading him to try a semi-crazed plan as his one last chance.
This is Rabe at his best, giving us an almost peaceful story that becomes more and more tense as the pages whirl by. We should all give thanks to Ed Gorman, who held onto these manuscripts after Rabe's death and continued to search for a publisher for them. Kudos to Gorman and Stark House for presenting us with one last chance to to salute Rabe!
