Beschreibung

Description:
Julian and Kevin, two broke construction workers living in a damp basement, stumble upon a terrifying yet lucrative secret hidden within the walls of a remote psychiatric hospital. Desperate for cash after Kevin's medication runs out, they are offered a bizarre deal by the enigmatic Dr. Vincent: earn $300 each for a single night's work. What begins as a simple, if unsettling, errand plunges them into the shadowy experiments of Dr. Marcus, a neuroscientist who believes he can manipulate human emotion and memory through electrical brain stimulation. As they witness patients subjected to agonizing procedures and addictive 'treatments,' Julian and Kevin must decide how far they're willing to go for fast money. Trapped between poverty and a chilling moral abyss, they uncover a password to wealth far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Can they get rich without losing their minds?

    “A little beauty of a story….A hot, fast read with pungent characters.” —Los Angeles Times 
    “A slam-bang, no-bull action thriller…and nobody but nobody writes better dialogue.” —New York Daily News 
    It’s an established fact: Elmore Leonard is “the uncontested master of the crime thriller” (Washington Post ) who “does crime fiction better than anyone” (Cleveland Plain Dealer), and nowhere is this more obvious than in the pages of Stick. One of his most acclaimed noir masterworks, it is the story of ex-con Ernest “Stick” Stickley who’s nudged from the straight-and-narrow path when a big time drug dealer randomly selects him to die and a perfect revenge/payday opportunity presents itself. The author of Raylan, featuring  U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, the sometimes trigger-happy protagonist of TV’s Justified, Leonard is indeed the king, holding court with the best of the best, including Coban and Connally, and the late great John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert B. Parker.

    Literary forger Henry Slader, assaulted and presumed dead by his longtime nemesis, Will, awakens in a shallow grave, suffocating in dirt. Concussed and disoriented, Slader exhumes himself and sets out to exact revenge on his rival, orchestrate Will's downfall, and make a fortune along the way—armed with a devastating secret about Will's past. 
     
     
     
    Slader quickly draws in Will's daughter, Nicole, wielding his threats against her father to blackmail her into forging inscriptions by such authors as Poe, Hemingway, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein. As Nicole's skill grows, so does her devotion to—and doubts about—her father's integrity, until she commits the ultimate betrayal for the sake of his freedom. With breathtakingly precise background knowledge and virtuoso execution, Nicole forges a suite of brilliantly convincing and surpassingly valuable letters by Frankenstein author Mary Shelley—planting within them the seeds of Slader's doom. 
     
     
     
    Moving between upstate New York, a village in Ireland, London, and ending in a shocking standoff at the site of Mary Shelley's grave in a coastal town in Southern England, The Forger's Requiem is both a compelling standalone novel and the crescendo ending to the trilogy Joyce Carol Oates has called "lethally enthralling to read."
