    "Baldacci establishes bona fides for this historical mystery with great delicacy, deftly navigating the cliché minefield and giving his readers a sense of the milieu without drowning them in minutiae. He delivers a cracking good suspense novel in the process."-- BookPage, " A Gambling Man is delicious crime noir with fascinating historical data thrown in to keep the story interesting . . . Archer is one of today's standout fictional characters, and you are missing out if you don't jump into this terrific series at the beginning."-- Bookreporter.com, "David Baldacci is one of the all-time best thriller authors."-- Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author, "With drugs, gambling, brothels, murders and more, for historical crime fans, this one's got it all."-- CNN Underscored, " A Gambling Man moves at a steady clip, as Baldacci's plot pays homage to private eye novels by Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald. Archer is a well-drawn character, a man of his times who tries to overcome his past and embrace new attitudes. Liberty is no damsel in distress but is a strong woman who knows how to protect herself and isn't fooled by any man, rising above clichés that may surround showgirls . . . A return to Archer and Liberty will be welcomed."-- South Florida Sun-Sentinel, "Baldacci . . . definitely is onto something with Archer. He's a very interesting guy, in a rough-and-tumble way, and Baldacci renders Archer's postwar world with the kind of vivid detail that catches a reader's eye . . . Readers new to the series will definitely want to catch up on what they've missed."-- Booklist, "Fans of Baldacci should go all in for A Gambling Man . This spicy novel deals out a hand of brothels, gambling dens, drug operations, and government corruption--all a sure bet for a rollicking good time."-- New York Journal of Books

    Synopsis
    Aloysius Archer, the straight-talking World War II veteran fresh out of prison, returns in this riveting #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from David Baldacci. The 1950s are on the horizon, and Archer is in dire need of a fresh start after a nearly fatal detour in Poca City. So Archer hops on a bus and begins the long journey out west to California, where rumor has it there is money to be made if you're hard-working, lucky, criminal--or all three. Along the way, Archer stops in Reno, where a stroke of fortune delivers him a wad of cash and an eye-popping blood-red 1939 Delahaye convertible--plus a companion for the final leg of the journey, an aspiring actress named Liberty Callahan who is planning to try her luck in Hollywood. But when the two arrive in Bay Town, California, Archer quickly discovers that the hordes of people who flocked there seeking fame and fortune landed in a false paradise that instead caters to their worst addictions and fears. Archer's first stop is a P.I. office where he is hoping to apprentice with a legendary private eye and former FBI agent named Willie Dash. He lands the job, and immediately finds himself in the thick of a potential scandal: a blackmail case involving a wealthy well-connected politician running for mayor that soon spins into something even more sinister. As bodies begin falling, Archer and Dash must infiltrate the world of brothels, gambling dens, drug operations, and long-hidden secrets, descending into the rotten bones of a corrupt town that is selling itself as the promised land--but might actually be the road to perdition, and Archer's final resting place.

      Ich habe alle deutschen Bücher der Pern-Saga und erwartete eine weitere Folge in englischer Sprache. Deshalb war ich sehr überrascht, dass in diesem Buch die einzelnen Personen vorgestellt und sehr genau charakterisiert werden. Sie sind in sehr sorgfältigen Zeichnungen dargestellt. Allerdings überwiegend in jungen Jahren, obwohl sie erst als Ältere in den Geschichten vorkommen. Nur wenige stimmen nicht mit dem Text überein, z. B. Yanus, Menollis Vater, der groß, breitschultrig, raubeinig ist!
