Živa meta

Živa meta

William Lashner

Sve čega je Victor Carl trenutačno svjestan jest da se probudio na tvrdom podu popločanom betonskim pločama, u vanjskom predvorju zgrade u kojoj stanuje.

Sa strašnim mamurlukom, odijelom u krpama, s poderanom košuljom izvučenom iz hlača i razvezanom kravatom, nestalim čarapama i s oštrom i peckajućom boli u prsima. Bol potječe od svježe tetovaže za koju se ne može sjetiti kako ju je dobio – na kojoj je istetovirano jarkocrveno srce s njemu potpuno nepoznatim imenom Chantal Adair. Tko je Chantal Adair? Ljubav njegova života ili samo užasna pijana pogreška? Victor namjerava saznati, no trenutno su mu na pameti veće brige. Njegov klijent, bjegunac kojega FBI godinama traži, namjerava napokon izaći iz svojega skrovišta i vratiti prije trideset godina ukradenu Rembrandtovu sliku, a ukradene dragulje u Victorovu vlasništvu ne treba ni spominjati. No Rembrandtova slika i crtež na njegovoj koži možda su i povezaniji nego što Victor sluti. A što se više približava rješenju koje će to dvoje dovesti u vezu, sve je bliže tome da postane živom metom. Jer netko nije sretan što je slika izronila na svjetlo dana. Ili što klijent-bjegunac prijeti da će sve otkriti. Ili što Victor njuška uokolo, u potrazi za informacijama o Chantal Adair. William Lashner godinama zasluženo nosi status majstora žanra kriminalističkog romana – zahvaljujući prije svega romanima s odvjetnikom Victorom Carlom kao glavnim junakom, inteligentnim i duhovitim, okorjelim i ranjivim, koji uvijek nekako uspije napraviti pravu stvar – ali iz potpuno pogrešnih razloga.
