Publisher's Summary:

Dla Larry'ego Brookera ten film może okazać się kasowym sukcesem, który tak długo mu się wymykał. Dla Gai, gwiazdy rocka, desperacko poszukującej uznania dla swoich aktorskich umiejętności, ta rola może oznaczać nominację do Oscara. Dla miasta Brighton, wartość kręcenia w ich rejonie hollywoodzkiej produkcji o jednej z największych miejskich historii miłosnych, między Królem Jerzym IV a Marią Fitzherbert – jest niewyobrażalna. Dla detektywa Roy'a Grace'a z komendy w Sussex, to koszmar dziejący się na jego oczach. Obsesyjny prześladowca podąża za Gają. Pierwszy zamach na życie gwiazdy miał miejsce kilka dni przed jej lotem z rodzinnego Bel Air do Brighton. Roy Grace otrzymał ostrzeżenie: w mieście ukrywa się prześladowca, który czeka, obserwuje i planuje.  'Nowy porywający thriller najlepszego brytyjskiego autora kryminałów'. - The Daily Mirror 'Błyskotliwe dialogi, świetnie zarysowane postaci, inteligentny detektyw Grace i piękne jak kamea nadmorskie Brighton'. - The Times 'Kolejny mistrzowski kryminał obsypanego nagrodami Jamesa.

Author: Gary Phillips

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 58 minutes

Release date: September 24, 2024

Genres: Police & Detective

Publisher's Summary:

Private eye Ivan Monk takes on his most personal mystery to date—and chases answers deep into America’s haunted past. Long ago, Marshall Spears was a hero of the ballpark. In a time when baseball—and the nation—was segregated, he played in the vaunted Negro Leagues. Decades later, Old Man Spears is living out his days as a fixture in a barbershop in South Central. One afternoon, PI Ivan Monk—a shop regular—learns that Spears’s former teammate was Kennesaw Riles. From family lore, Monk knows Riles is his cousin who was ostracized for the damning testimony he gave during a controversial murder trial in the ’60s—testimony that put a firebrand civil rights leader behind bars. Before Monk can hear more, Old Man Spears drops dead while listening to a ballgame on the radio. Even stranger, the long missing Riles shows up at the Old Man’s funeral services, and dies soon after. Monk knows the timing is not a coincidence. He follows the mystery to the Mississippi Delta. There, he unravels the truth behind the murder of two civil rights era activists. Eventually Monk zeroes in on a group of shadowy Mississippi businessmen-turned-philanthropists who may not have reformed their ways as they claim. Far from Los Angeles, the tenacious private eye confronts his own family history as well as a brand of hatred thought to have died with Jim Crow. “[A] gripping tale starring a genuinely charismatic hero.”—Booklist

Publisher's Summary:

When private investigator Ivan Monk takes a case set in a public housing project, he finds himself facing the police and volatile gang members—and a murder charge. Heat is building in the Rancho Tajuata Housing Projects, and not just because it’s summer in L.A. An immigrant family is firebombed and killed in their apartment. Rage threatens to explode. The pressure is on to solve the murders quickly, lest more death and destruction follow. At the request of the controversial onsite security force, P.I. Ivan Monk is called in to investigate. In tracking down the killer, Monk delves into a tangled history involving the Rancho, going back to the aftermath of the 1965 Watts riots and decades of bureaucratic corruption and racist policy decisions that affected South Central. As Monk navigates the complexities of Black and Brown conflict in the neighborhood, he finds himself at odds with the law, disillusioned with his friend and mentor, and, after a fierce fight with some thugs, under indictment for murder. He must race to not only clear his name, but prevent another bad night from falling on the Rancho for good. “A first-rate example of contemporary noir fiction.”—The Sunday Telegraph

Publisher's Summary:

THE MYSTERY SERIES THAT LAUNCHED GARY PHILLIPS’S CAREER Private eye Ivan Monk’s search for a killer lead to the unraveling of a far-reaching white supremacist conspiracy. Robert “Scatterboy” Williams is a small-time hustler selling bogus Cartier watches in Pacific Shores, a port city south of Los Angeles. One day, he’s gunned down in the street, seemingly at random. Then drug dealer Ronny Aaron is shot and killed leaving a liquor store. Shortly thereafter, college student Jimmy Henderson is rendered comatose after two bullets to his body. The three victims have nothing in common save the neighborhood where they were shot—and the color of their skin. The police categorize Scatterboy’s murder as business as usual. But his girlfriend convinces private eye Ivan Monk to find the killer. What looks like three unrelated shootings of Black men in Southern California will put Monk on a tortuous trail unraveling a larger nefarious plan: the rise of an extremist demagogue. “Monk is an asset in the series—flawed, human, angry but levelheaded, brainy and brawny.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review

The year is rapidly drawing to an end, Hettie the tortoise is hibernating and Agnes, Charlie, Marshall, and the other elderly residents of Sunset Hall are going stir-crazy at home. They’ve had enough of the broken boiler, drafty bedrooms, and Christmas jingles on the radio. And to top it off, another series of murders is rocking the hamlet of Duck End. It seems like every villager and his dog is trying to make up for all of the thwarted murders of the past thirty years. Most unpleasant! The residents of Sunset Hall don’t want anything to do with the criminal activities. So when Edwina manages to sneak onto Marshall’s computer and promptly wins a stay in an exclusive coastal hotel in Cornwall, the Sunset Hall crew doesn’t waste any time in deciding to join her.

But they’ve barely unpacked their bags when Agnes sees something unsettling: two figures in hoods walk away from the hotel along the cliffs, but only one returns. Worried she’s witnessed a murder, Agnes tells the others. At first nobody really believes her—the crew has enough to do working their way through the incredible menu, exploring the hotel’s wellness landscape, navigating old and new love affairs and adopting a boa constrictor. But when the hotel ends up isolated from the outside world after a storm, it becomes clear that a murderer really is on the loose—and they’re trapped, just like the other guests!
