A gripping thriller from the acclaimed author of Good Neighbors, perfect for fans of Linwood Barclay and Robert Crais
Los Angeles, 1952. After 13-year-old Sandy Duncan shoots his stepfather and carves a symbol from a comic book into the corpse’s forehead, district attorney Seymour Markley launches a grand jury investigation into the murder, one that could implicate east-coast crime boss James Manning. Also in the frame is the comic book’s creator, Eugene Dahl. When threatening notes appear nailed to his front door, he is lured to a downtown hotel where one of the men who could bring down James Manning is being held. There, Eugene finds the witness murdered, as well as the police officer charged with protecting him, and all fingers point to Eugene. Forced to go on the run, Eugene devises a plan that involves deeds far worse than any of which he’s been accused.

"Compelling, slick, exuberant, flashy, funny, fierce, and cinematic. . . . Deftly written with panache and polish. . . . This remarkable novel, a lean, psychologically unsettling noir tale, will stay with you long after you put it down and regretfully say, 'I wish I wrote that.'" —Library Journal, starred review of Good Neighbors
"A well-written, fast-paced book . . . along the order of Quentin Tarantino and with a long and bloody trail to the end." —Charlaine Harris, bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, on The Dispatcher
"Violent, vivid, and disturbing, The Dispatcher is a stomach churner. If you want a book that grabs you—almost chokes you—and won't let go, this is it. But it should come with a warning label: Caution, a serious writer at work." —Ridley Pearson, New York Times-bestselling author

Condition: Muy bueno. : April 1952. Los Angeles. After thirteen-year-old Sandy Duncan shoots his stepfather in the temple and carves a symbol into the corpse's forehead in imitation of a comic book, district attorney Seymour Markley launches a grand jury investigation into the murder and its causes, an investigation that could implicate east coast crime boss James Manning and end his thirty-year career. Also potentially implicated: the comic book's creator, Eugene Dahl, who now spends his mornings working as a milkman and his evenings warming bar stools. Threatening notes begin appearing nailed to his front door, notes that draw him to a downtown hotel where one of the district attorney's witnesses, one of the men who could bring down James Manning, is being held. There, Eugene finds the witness murdered, as well as the police officer charged with protecting him; and he finds himself framed for those murders. He's forced to go on the run, and, in order to clear his name, to devise a plan that involves deeds far worse than anything he's been framed for. And he must commit those deeds with the police right behind him. EAN: 9780230761636 Tipo: Libros Título: The Last Tomorrow Autor: Ryan David Jahn Editorial: MacMillan Peso: 729.
