博客來Washington, DC’s notorious detective, former street denizen Dickie Cornish, faces off with bloodthirsty cops and the justice department in the latest thrilling release by award-winning noir author Christopher Chambers.
In StreetWhys, underground detective Dickie Cornish faces a vindictive murder rap from his past if he doesn’t agree to help prove that the fentanyl ravaging the streets of DC is bankrolled by shadowy donors of a certain former president. Broke and desperate, Cornish soon finds himself on a collision course with shady public defenders and corrupt police officers, forcing him to use his street connections to flip their plan. Or die.
Chambers’s Dickie Cornish series has met with widespread critical acclaim. Publishers Weekly dubbed the series debut, Scavenger, ＂[A] no-holds-barred crime novel...a 21st-century twist on traditional hardboiled noir.＂ The Strand Magazine selected Standalone, the second book in the series, as one of the ＂Top 25 Mystery Novels of the Year,＂ adding ＂It’s apparent that the modern heir to Chandler, Woolrich, and Cain is Christopher Chambers, enough said.＂ And renowned crime author George Pelecanos raves that the series ＂really nails Washington, DC in the current environment.＂
Chambers is an award winning author of mystery, noir, pulp, and graphic novels. He sits on the board of the Bouchercon World Mystery Writers Convention and is a judge for Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Awards. He lives in Washington, DC.
