Members Reviews:
Hardboiled Latin American Adventure
âMurder Is My Dishâ is the fourth of the twenty Chet Drum novels that Stephen Marlowe left us. Although on its surface this is yet another hardboiled PI series, the Drum novels each begin with a typical PI case in the states, but then the action always shifts overseas to an exotic locale.
This time the action involves Drum in a case spanning two continents and a mission of vengeance against the corrupt security chief of an imaginary corrupt Latin American country, Parana, sandwiched in next to Paraguay. From fights along the New York waterfront to kidnappings on the highways and a battle fought in a tenement leaving bodies strewn everywhere, the action never stops. And, it only gets better when Drum heads down to Parana to rescue a damsel in distress, fight for truth and justice, and get himself involved in a revolution against a brutal dictatorship.
This is a series that is so well-written and so much fun to read that it should be far better known that it is. Drum is hard-boiled, tough, and relentless. There is not a bad novel in the series.
