"Историите в тази книга са като димящо черно кафе. Топли. Ароматни. Държащи нащрек сетивата ви. Написани с майсторство и жесток усет към детайла.

Селски разкази, иронично подкопани в самата си основа от фината, по градски модерна и детайлизирана чувствителност, най-вече на героините. Игра на светлини и сенки. На невъзможни любови и още по-невъзможни примирения. Истории с вкус към асиметричността на ... |

And are you a good detective? – I'm not good - I replied. – I'm the best. The best private detective in Los Angeles.& ... |
