LIKE FLIES FROM AFAR

In a sardonic tone, Joe Lewis delivers this captivating, bloodstained, deeply twisted, hard-boiled thriller following a day in the life of Argentinian oligarch Luis Machi. A cheat, a criminal, and a rogue, Mr. Machi finds an unidentifiable dead man in his trunk and a single expended bullet from the gun he keeps in the glove box. Fans of Jim Thompson, Dashiell Hammett, and Raymond Chandler will find just the right mix of blood, drugs, and suspense as Mr. Machi investigates a long list of relatives, employees, and enemies who want retribution. Ferrari doesn't shy away from updating the genre tropes and, with the able help of Lewis, adds a few new twists with updated technology. R.O. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2020]
