Wiedergelesen: (als E-Book)

Robert Crais, The Two Minute Rule

Ich brauchte noch ein Buch um die Zeit zwischen 'The Night Fire' und dem neuesten Sword and Sorceress' zu überbrücken, und irgendwie bot sich das Buch als Lückenfüller an, obwohl ich es erst letztes Jahr noch wiedergelesen hatte. Irgendwas an der Story fasziniert mich einfach.

Cecil had gold fever. Men in the joint used to talk about it, trying to make their bad decisions sound romantic by comparing themselves to Old West prospectors; men who got high by draming about the pot-of-gold score taht would set them up. They thought about it until they thought about nothing else; they obsessed on it until it consumed them and they had nothing else in their lives; they became desperate for it until their desperation made them stupid. This idiot was looking at six first-degree murder hits and all he could see was the money. Holman saw his way in. He smiled.
