À la volée

Horatio Cassidy #4

by John Crosby

382pages. poche. Broché. Il faut bien admettre qu'on ne nous a pas donné depuis longtemps un héros de roman policier aussi fascinant que cet Horatio Cassidy qui enseigne à New York la littérature médiévale et travaille comme vacataire pour la CIA. Un polar si l'on peut dire, car l'aventure vire rapidement à l'épopée politico-stratégico-militaire, avec un tel arsenal de rebondissements en tous genres que les petits aventuriers de l'Arche perdue peuvent aller se rhabiller. Et quelle culture, quel humour, quelle imagination! Quoi ? Vous ne connaissez pas CrosbyLe Courrier des Yvelines.
