Dodir opasnosti

Dodir opasnosti

James Jones

Although he is better known for his war novels, this time from the pen of James Jones comes a crime novel.

The main character is a "man", a strong man, even though he is old, but also an intellectual with wisdom and experience who gives lessons to young people, separates whiskey and beats everyone around him. The novel is seasoned with sex, which is also found in Jones' works, and the backdrop of the entire novel is the Mediterranean, which gives charm and exoticism. From all this comes a fun story, atypical for Jones, but no less good.
