Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Hailed as "high-calibre," "riveting," and "fast-paced," Leonard Chang's series continues in this next exciting instalment, which finds Allen Choice, now a full partner at Baxter & Choice Investigations, distressed by the reappearance of his ex-lover Linda. As he reluctantly takes on the job of finding Linda's niece, who was abducted by her father in a bitter divorce battle, and starts to unearth links to drugs and money laundering, he becomes the target of larger, deadlier forces that strike a tragic personal blow.

Contraportada:

Praise for Underkill

"Underkill is a very fine novel and Leonard Chang grows more impressive with each book. I thought Over the Shoulder was a stand out and now Allen Choice is back in a story even more stirring and absorbing. The key is character. Chang works like a painter, carefully brushing strokes of truth and depth on all of his characters. This portrait is a winner."
- Michael Connelly

"Chang writes beautifully about the wounds of his characters and the wounds of society as a whole. Putting one in mind of Steve Hamilton, S. J. Rozan and Dennis Lehane, he may well be the next big name in crime fiction."
- James Sallis, author of the Lew Griffin novels

"Chang has given the reader, in the character of Allen Choice, a fully-developed yet fallible hero [whose] complex adventures will absorb the reader and--one hopes--ensure yet another tale of this caliber in the future, and another, and another."
-Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler's List

"Chang weaves a multi-layered yarn, energized by Choice's wrestling with his own uncertainties and self-doubts."
-Providence Journal

"[An] exciting novel . . . There is a certain grit and amusement here." - Miami Herald

"Plenty of excitement." - San Jose Mercury News

"It's a treat, with a protagonist who really grows on you. It's impossible not to root for Choice."
- Booklist

"[Sets] the stage for a startling surprise and a high-caliber climax." - Kirkus Reviews
