Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. One PI. Ten crimes. "Stylistically reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill. An exciting and original debut" (The Hoopla Literary Society). A literary detective story ingeniously told in ten cases. John Dorn is a classic gumshoe. His woman has left him, he lives in his office, and he drinks too much. His one friend, a lawyer named Demetri, hands Dorn an infinite supply of hopeless cases and lost causes, to which Dorn, ever the champion of the underdog and the oppressed, is drawn to "as a sledgehammer is to a kneecap." A superlative work of hardboiled literary detective fiction, The Midnight Promise wonderfully evokes the underbelly of contemporary Melbourne, its battlers, its hard men, its victims, and its ill-fated heroes. "[A] powerful hard-boiled debut . . . The cases get progressively more disturbing, both in terms of their subject matter, which include gruesome torture, and their impact on Dorn, a classic world-weary narrator."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Lovitt has a neat way with a yarn. . . . And just when you think he is going to stay close to a kind of downbeat realism, there is a slide into something a little thrillerish and action-packed."--The Sydney Morning Herald "[An] artful, Down Under nod to the hard-boiled private eyes of Chandler and Hammett."--The Christian Science Monitor, "10 Excellent International Thrillers" "Lovitt is sure-handed in sketching characters, and he laces Dorn's cases with sardonic humor and prodigious bits of human frailty. . . . Fans of international crime fiction will enjoy Dorn and his milieu."--Booklist The story of detective John Dorn told in ten cases. The "cases" are as different as can be, but each one reveals a little more of Dorn's own troubled past and his dire present, leading to a final confrontation with his arch nemesis: himself.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A brilliant Melbourne crime novel, told in ten hardboiled stories.John Dorn is a private investigator. Just like his father used to be. It says 'private inquiry agent' in John's Yellow Pages ad because that's what his old man called himself, back before his business folded, his wife left him and he drank himself to death.But John's not going to end up like his father. He doesn't have a wife, or much business. He doesn't really drink, either. Not yet.In each of these ten delicious stories Zane Lovitt presents an intriguing investigation filled with humour and complex, beautifully observed characters. At their centre is John Dorn, solving not so much crimes as funny human puzzles; but the crimes, and the criminals, are forever lurking nearby, taunting him from the city's cold underworld.It's his job to unravel the mystery, or right the wrong, or just do what the client has hired him to do. Somehow, though, there is a misstep at every turn, and John takes another small stumble towards his moment of personal truth. His midnight promise. Perhaps even his redemption.
