DEATH’S LITTLE HELPERS (NO WAY HOME)
Book ID/图书代码: 03810005B07432
English Summary/英文概要: In this masterful follow-up to Peter Spiegelman’s stunning debut Black Maps, private investigator John March finds himself drawn into a web of corruption that extends from the halls of high finance to the dark underworld of organized crime.
Gregory Danes, a Wall Street analyst has gone missing, and his ex-wife, a fashionable painter, calls March to track him down. She just wants him to sign her alimony checks, but as March soon discovers, she’s not the only one looking for him. Danes was once an industry hot shot, but has lost his touch. His biggest gains lately, it seems, had been in enemies–including a few members of the Russian mob. When March receives a threat upon his own family, he realizes Danes had been involved in something far more dangerous than insider trading.

Awards/获奖情况:“Second novels in a promising series must be among the hardest literary tricks to pull off . . . Spiegelman has done it with stunning skill. [He] has the heart, head and writing skills to make his setting explode with rare light and excitement.”---The Chicago Tribune
“Shamus-winner Spiegelman’s intricate, intelligent second thriller features all-too-human New York PI John March . . . Spiegelman makes all the details ring true, and his fine prose can be lyrical. While the determined March has the requisite grit, he is also appealingly vulnerable and introspective.”---Publishers Weekly
“Private eye John March follows the money again in a worthy sequel to his impressive debut (Shamus-winner Black Maps) . . . [Spiegelman] is a serious talent that rewards interest now with better around the corner.”---Kirkus
“Spiegelman cements his growing reputation as one of the finest of the new generation reworking the PI genre. He is that rare novelist who knows what he wants to say, and he knows how to say it, which makes for a absorbing, suspenseful and thoughtful book.”---David Liss, author of A Spectacle of Corruption and A Conspiracy of Paper
"Peter Spiegelman has an equal intimacy with the workings of an investment bank and those of the human heart, and he can paint them with equally nuanced colors. A fine book by a fine writer."---S.J. Rozan, author of Absent Friends and Winter and Night
“This is a classic private-eye novel, a head-clearing treat that reminds a reader of everything that a good PI novel can do. But Peter Spiegelman’s John March is also his own man and his take on New York is decidedly, refreshingly modern.”---Laura Lippman, author of By a Spider’s Thread and Every Secret Thing
