And here the pocket Brookmyre, irreverent and surprising even in soft format. The Scotsman back on the shelves with the first deadly adventure of his journalist Jack Parlabane assault.
Some mornings you should not just get up.
not after a night damn alcohol.
not head that vibrates like a techno song shot at point blank range.
The risk of ending up in your neighbor's underwear in the apartment just massacred, with the hounds of the police looking for murder and with that it should be slightly suspicious that you do not ...
Basically this is the morning from dogs that overwhelms the poor Jack Parlabane, shrewd protagonist of glowing, but very solid, the novel by Christopher Brookmyre.
nosy journalist, physiologically predisposed to getting into trouble, Parlabane could not ask for more. What happened to him in his hands is a big deal.
rigged contracts, bribery, killings, step by step its investigation reveals the horrors of a health system corrupt and cynical, but ridiculous in its pettiness. Among
manager sexually frustrated and unscrupulous businessmen - all breast fed poisonous mother Thacher - Scottish Brookmyre extremes with his macabre irony that a social and political reality perfectly plausible. Public health, being privatized, has turned into a ruthless money making machine and gain power - no matter whether on the skin of patients and octogenarians unprofitable which, coincidentally, begin to die mysteriously.
On the rhythm of a pressing mechanism black Brookmyre knows exactly when and how to trigger his madness, when disgust (or seduce) the reader, when in fact sink the thin blade of his social criticism.
irreverent and hilarious from the first page, comic relentless, cruel enough, as bad as all of his characters, one morning he puts on a dog after the other, combining the agility of the comic to the substance of the novel. In short, a cocktail of the best contemporary trends in Scotland.
