Poljubac ubojice

Poljubac ubojice

William Lashner

During his murky legal career, Victor Carl, no one can argue with him, has made a lot of bad decisions, but letting ex-fiancée Julia back into his life and bed may be the worst decision of all.

Julia's husband was murdered just before that, her fingerprints are all over the crime scene, and $1.7 million in cash has disappeared without a trace. One might think that Julia decided to set up his murder. But she has one thing going for her: Julia is incredibly attractive and in Victor Carlo's world, lust always wins over reason. All you need is love, the Beatles sing, and Victor firmly decided to believe that. But why are the police accusing him of murder? And how did the weapon with which the crime was committed get into his bedroom? And who is the dead woman next to his refrigerator? For years, William Lashner has deservedly held the status of master of the crime novel genre - thanks primarily to novels with the lawyer Victor Carlo as the main character, intelligent and witty, hardened and vulnerable, who always somehow manages to do the right thing - but for completely wrong reasons. The seventh novel in the series about Victor Carl, and the fifth in a row published by Algoritm, translated by Mirjana Valent, sold in several million copies worldwide, fully shows how a suspenseful detective story can be imaginative, humorous, tragic, exciting and deep at the same time.
