Showing results for "Barbara" in Hard-Boiled

Montale, il protagonista della trilogia noir di Jean-Claude Izzo, ha lasciato la polizia e cerca di vivere secondo un’antica filosofia del suo paese, seguendo il ritmo lento del mare, andando a pesca, sedendo al bar con gli amici. Fino a quando non viene risucchiato in un’indagine (non più in divisa) che parte dall’omicidio di un suo cugino adolescente e lo porta dritto dritto negli interessi mafiosi sul porto della città, negli ambienti razzisti del Fronte nazionale, nei traffici d’armi degli integralisti islamici.

When Prosper homegirl turned big-city businesswoman Priss Porter returns to town with a body in her trunk, she calls Stella Hardesty to dispose of it. Her uppity ways dont convince Stella to take the job, and Priss attempts to blackmail her with a snapshot of Stella doing what she does best: curing woman-beaters by the use of force. Stella refuses to cooperate and goes home, only to hear later that Priss and her brother, Liman, have gone missing after calling in a disturbance.

A call from Stella’s little sister brings the news that Stella’s step-nephew, Chip, has been threatened with serious bodily harm if he doesn’t settle his unpaid gambling debts. Stella makes the drive to Chip’s home in Wisconsin, only to walk in on a wee-hours dismemberment.
