Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Harry and Crystal in their most dangerous--and sexiest--adventure yet 'Harry Palmer's latest Odyssey through the noir underbelly of LA takes him into a hell of mirrors; the intricately plotted narrative traps him among a pornography industry that mimics Hollywood; an FBI that reflects the Chicago mobs; and US attempts to crush Iranian democracy. Never has a hard-boiled dick hallucinated so accurately the contradictions of mid-century history-and in the company of a panoply of heart-stopping heroines, strong women who want to work, not for men, but for themselves, in a mid-century treat to enlighten a century that is going straight to hell'-David E. James, USC School of Cinema, author, Rock 'N' Film; Cinema's Dance with Popular Music and long term LA resident. 'Pornocopia reads like a Raymond Chandler novel written for the age of platforms and surveillance. Dennis Broe uses noir not as pastiche but as method-tracking power, desire, and corruption through a landscape where pornography isn't a side business, but the engine of a nascent digital capitalism. Hard-boiled, politically sharp, and deeply American, this is fiction that understands how systems really work: follow the money, follow the bodies.'- Peter Rader, author and screenwriter, Waterworld'If Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlow searched his family tree, he'd find Dennis Broe's Harry Palmer and Crystal Eckart. Their common DNA includes crackle sharp narration, plots like minefields, and characters that crawl out of a cesspool fronting as a swimming pool. They share a need to expose a crime called America, a mask of cheerful optimism covering worlds of corruption and deception. In Pornocopia, they find a swamp in the desert: pornography, the Mob and Las Vegas.'-Jerry W Carlson, Professor Film & Literature City College of New York.Pornocopia is about a perilous coming together of the mob, financial interests and the government. Ex- homicide detective Harry Palmer tangles with low level mafiosi holding his client, the sex-reel star Purrfect, hostage, while ex-club girl Crystal Eckart is trying to get a producer, about to have his big Hollywood break, out from under the thumb of both the F.B.I. and the Un-American Activities Committee. In the background lurks the Chicago Mob, a studio mogul and a mysterious government entity. More than enough murder, sex and suspense to, pun intended, shake a stick at.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Harrry and Crystal in their deadliest adventure yet.'Dennis Broe has done it again. On the one hand, we have his usual electrifying prose, dense atmospheric feel for LA, and sharp plotting. On the other, we have the sneaking sense that the backdrop of the 1950s Hollywood blacklist is becoming our own backdrop. Today. Dissident voices about world politics are being silenced even as we . speak'-Toby Miller, Global Media Scholar and author of Why Journalism A Polemic.'Broe's novel, written in the terse, laconic hard-boiled style of Hammett and Chandler, is a gripping insight into the double-dealings, lies and betrayals that permeated Hollywood - and much of American society - during the time of HUAC and the infamous blacklist. Full of evocative descriptions and crisp dialogue, this murder mystery captures the feel of the period, oozing knowledge and understanding about the perfidiousness of studio bosses and the misery their craven conformism inflicted on their creative staff, especially writers'--Andrew Spicer, University of Bristol, UK and author of Film Noir'The Dark Ages tells an interesting tale of intrigue during a dark time in US history. The author deftly follows in the hardboiled tradition of detective thrillers, with plenty of twists and turns. All in all, a good read.'-Michael D Yates, Editor Monthly Review, Professor Emeritus at the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown.'Harry is such a particular and complete character that you want to see him more. The subject matter is flabbergasting, allowing us to see how the system was created in order to profit only a certain group (much like how the Red Line in LA was destroyed to provoke a need for cars, tires and gas.) The novel weaves history and historical fiction together giving us a real feel for the period. This is a book with great intrigue that presents a vision not only of a dystopian Hollywood system but also a hopeful vision of a different landscape that we could be operating under'-Mathilde Merlot, Film and Television Writer and author of Death at Vassar, the Madelaine Rosseau Mystery Series.'The novel provides a compelling and entertaining blend of private eye fiction (with a few nods to Chandler); expertly researched analysis of the structural roots of the blacklist; and a radical critique with implications for now as well as then. I particularly like the mix of fictional and 'real' figures from that era and the revealing analysis of the way studio heads and others thought about filmmaking and the blacklist at the time-Brian Neve, The Many Lives of Cy Endfield: Film Noir, The Blacklist and Zulu and Film and Politics in America: A Social Tradition.'A damn good job. The writing style works well with the content. It's gripping and, I believe, reflects these events as they would have occurred. Couldn't put it down. And now, of course, I want to read the rest of the series'-Diana Anhalt, author of A Gathering of Fugitives: American Political Expatriates in Mexico 1948-65. It's 1951 and Repression is in the air. Against the backdrop of a congressional investigation of Hollywood, PI Harry Palmer is hired by a blacklisted writer to collect his money from a cheating 'front.' Thus begins a trail of murder, betrayal, and lust that will bring Harry and Crystal close to dissolving their partnership and losing their lives. Beyond the intrigue, their investigation sheds light on the desire of the studios to pacify their workers and to wreak havoc on what was once a militant labor movement.Dennis Broe is the author of the previous Harry Palmer trilogy 'Calamitous Corruption' which includes Left of Eden, A Hello to Arms and The Precinct With The Golden Arm. The second Harry Palmer trilogy 'The Dark Ages' includes The House That Buff Built, The Dark Ages and Pornocopia.…
