Críticas:
"Stunningly original . . . Jack O'Connell's vision is spellbinding: by turns hilarious and terrifying." --James Ellroy "This dark, disturbing book . . . speaks with a fine fury about the yearning for forbidden knowledge and the language to articulate the mysteries it unlocks." --The New York Times "Strong stuff, all right: O'Connell gets so deep inside his small-town cast that it''s a relief to turn the last page." --Kirkus Reviews
Reseña del editor:
A narcotics detective wages war against a deadly new stimulant
The drug is called Lingo, and it's the most powerful narcotic Lenore has ever seen. This cheaply manufactured pill races straight for the brain's language center, supercharging it so that even a dimwitted person can speak and read at 1,500 words per minute. It induces giddiness, confidence, and sexual euphoria--with a side effect of murderous rage. The drug has come to Quinsigamond, a fading industrial center in the heart of Massachusetts, and it's going to tear this town apart. Lenore believes she can stop that from happening. A narcotics detective with a few addictions of her own--amphetamines and heavy metal, to name a couple--she loves nothing more than her gun, until she meets Dr. Frederick Woo, the linguist assisting her on the case. Together they can stop the drug--if it doesn't take hold of them first.

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A stunningly original nightmare novel about the impact of a new synthetic drug - LINGO - on the depressed New England factory town of Quinsigamond, where it was secretly developed. Besides offering a potent high, LINGO also delivers a shot to the brain cells governing linguistic comprehension and verbal skill. Until murderous rages and babbling insanity take over, this mindexpanding feature makes the drug dangerously seductive to the unusually literate cops, scientists and dope dealers competing to find its distribution source. Written in the cranked up style of LINGO, Box Nine by Jack O'Connell shows a noir vision of a city that has become a virtual war zone between warring multi-ethnic drug cartels. The narrative shifts from one head case to another but never loses sight of Det Leonore Thomas, an undercover officer addicted to speed, rough sex, heavy metal and the feel of her .357 Magnum. A dark, disturbing book that speaks with a fine fury about the yearning for forbidden knowledge and the language to articulate the mysteries it unlocks. A stunningly original nightmare novel about the impact of a new synthetic drug - Lingo - on the depressed New England factory town of Quinsigamond, where it was secretly developed. Besides offering a potent high, Lingo also delivers a shot to the brain cells governing lingusitic comprehension and verbal skill. Until murderous rages and.
