Beschreibung

Three aging mystery writers turn to the more lucrative business of murder-for-hire in this darkly funny crime caper by the Edgar Award–winning author.   In days gone by, Clifford Simpson, Tim Briggs, and William Carruthers were celebrated among the literary elite for their works of crime fiction. Now, they pass the time in their corner alcove at the Mystery Authors’ Club in London while the younger members whisper about them condescendingly. Worse yet, the royalties have really dried up.   But they’ve decided to put their years of valuable experience to use in a new venture: For the small sum of one thousand pounds, they’ll kill anyone for whatever the reason—love, hate, money, fun. All the client has to do was drop a line in their post box and the deal is done.   They dispatch their victims with a cool demeanor and the utmost dignity, and soon the spice has returned to their lives. Until everything begins to go wrong, and they discover that committing murder is never as easy as writing about it . . .  Praise for the writing of Robert L. Fish   “Vivid, humorous, daring and shrewd.” —Anthony Boucher   “Sharply ingenious.” —The New York Times

    The Land of Little Rain is a book of sketches which portray the high desert country of southern California, where the Sierras descend into the Mojave Desert. Mary Austin finds beauty in the harsh landscape: "This is the sense of the desert hills--that there is room enough and time enough. . . The treeless spaces uncramp the soul." Her story begins with the water trails that lead toward the few life giving springs--the way marked for men by ancient Indian pictographs. Life and death play out at these springs. Rabbits fall prey to the coyote; buzzards hang heavily in the sky above. She then writes of individuals who eke out their living in this land of scarce resources--an itinerant gold prospector, a sheepherder, a blind Indian basket maker. Austin's spare prose creates unforgettable vignettes: "Choose a hill country for storms. . . I remember one night of thunderous rain made unendurably mournful by the houseless cry of a cougar whose lair, and perhaps his family, had been buried under a slide of broken boulders . . ." Anyone who sees beauty in the Southwestern deserts, or who just enjoys good nature writing, will savor The Land of Little Rain. ( Summary by Sue Anderson )

    It’s a long way from a basement apartment in a Montréal suburb to a new life on a fictional planet, but that’s the destination our unnamed narrator has set his sights on, bringing readers with him on an off-beat and often hilarious journey. 
    Along the way, he writes poems, buys groceries at the dollar store and earns minimum wage at a dead-end supermarket job. In between treatments for his cystic fibrosis and the constant drip-drip-drip of disappointment, he dreams of a new life on Tatouine, where he’ll play Super Mario Bros and make sand angels all day. But in the meantime, he’ll have to make do with daydreams of a better life.
