Robert Daley

    1. leden 1930

    Robert Daley se ve svých románech a povídkách zabývá především světem policie a justice. Jeho bohaté zkušenosti z práce zástupce policejního komisaře v New Yorku mu umožnily proniknout do hlubin tohoto prostředí a popsat ho s nebývalou autentičností. Daleyho styl je charakteristický napínavými zápletkami a pronikavými psychologickými portréty postav, které čtenáře vtáhnou do víru událostí. Jeho díla, často inspirovaná reálnými případy a životními osudy, nabízejí nejen napětí, ale i hlubší zamyšlení nad povahou zločinu a spravedlnosti.

      The author gives us an excellent lead character in New York Asst. D.A. Judith Adler as she grapples with a series of rape cases. But that's not all--there's a strong emotional plot as well between Adler, Joe Hearn--a New York cop--and his wife. Daley is really at the top of his form with this book.

    • It has shaken the foundations of the wall of blue. And the assassination of two patrolmen has a tired, corrupt, and cunning chief of detectives scrambling not just to find the killers, but to save his career. After a lifetime of cleaning up death scenes, Earl Eisheid knows that this one is only beginning. Someone out there has declared war, and Eisheid's worse nightmare - of five thousand white-gloved cops saluting, a bugler playing taps, and a man with a gun - is about to come true...
