Paperback. Condition: Good. 1969. In advertising, there are mad men. On radio, there are funny men. Tune In .In 1960s New York, radio is king, and Elkin and Fox are the hottest morning team in town. Jerry Elkin is the funny half a genius at dialects and double-talk, zingers and zany characters. Sinatra flies him to Vegas on his private plane, and Rocky Graziano drinks with him (and punches him). But Jerry s life? That s no laughing matter. Secretly, he seethes at his straight-man partner, Ted Fox, a handsome rake who d rather shtup a secretary in the studio than entertain TV offers, a guy who makes Jerry feel less a star and more a schmuck. Turn On .And that s before Jerry ever hears the name Sari Rosenbloom. The stunning eighteen-year-old is a mystical American dream, irresistible to men and her most obsessed admirer is Jake, Jerry s son. With the 1960s world spinning out of control, Jake is fighting for a girl who can have anyone she wants from the world-famous artist who has sketched her nude to bon vivant Ted Fox, who s singing her name on air. Drop Out .And that s before Jerry gets a gander at Sari s father. Max Rosenbloom works in salvage in other words, he burns down factories, sells poisoned pajamas to Chinese children and sometimes buries his enemies in cement. If Jake doesn t stop going after his princess daughter, Max might make Jerry s son, Jerry s career and Jerry s whole post-war world disappear right off the dial . Schmuck.

Ross Klavan was raised on this canvas. No wonder I felt in such expert hands.

Emily Bazelon, author of Sticks and Stones I laughed out loud and also wept reading this fast-paced novel of a Jewish Holden Caulfield. W. M. Bernstein, author of The Realization of Concepts Delightful reading, but be forewarned. There is often seriousness beneath a tale whose Yiddish title means roughly a dope. It s Jewish New York and will make you laugh one minute, wince another, but will let you find yourself in it, no matter who you think you are.

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 286 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "Crime fiction aficionados with a taste for the offbeat will be rewarded." -Publishers Weekly I Take Care of Myself in Dreamland by Ross Klavan Bartok is left with scars from the Army but something else, as well-the memory of a strange, mystical experience that he calls "Red River." Back home and out of luck, he wanders through 1970's New York hoping to recapture this strange state. But others see Bartok as an easy mark for some very dirty business and their plan is to use him for murder. Jammed by Tim O'Mara Aggie is back in business. He's no longer smoking bootleg cigarettes as he did in "Smoked," now he's smuggling another usually legal-and quite valuable-products: maple syrup. Unfortunately, on the way from the Midwest to New York City, he's picked up an unwanted traveling companion, the fifteen-year-old daughter of his latest boss. It seems she wants to get to NYC to meet up with her on-line boyfriend, who turns out to be much more than she expected. All Aggie wants to do is drop off the syrup, pick up a paycheck, and get on home. Before he does that, he's gotta play hero. Again. The Maybrick Affair by Charles Salzberg As World War II rages in Europe, it's a couple weeks before Pearl Harbor and rookie reporter, Jake Harper, who works for a small Connecticut newspaper, is assigned a routine human interest story. A reclusive, elderly woman, has quietly passed away in her small cottage upstate. As Jake investigates the old woman's life and death he finds that years earlier she was tried and convicted of murdering her husband in a well-publicized, lurid trial in London, England. And, after digging further, he, unearths evidence that she might have had a connection to an even more famous British serial killer and that the ramifications of this story might affect America's entry into the War. …
