Following an unlikely mountain accident that made him lose his memory, Stoney Calhoun is a man without a past. Five years after leaving the hospital, a comfortable sum of money in his pocket, he remade his life in Maine and flows between the peaceful days fishing shop where he works and his cabin buried in the heart timber. Until her best friend disappears. Calhoun embarks on his trail and accumulates gruesome discoveries. As and when he discovers unexpected talents investigator who will confront the ghosts of his past. Stoney Calhoun first adventure, bloody drift us through the idyllic and full of history of Maine, to a final so violent that surprising.
I met some time ago Stoney and Ralph with Casco Bay , and it was a Delisse. The late Mr tapply was not his first attempt, since bloody Drift is the first installment of the adventures of Calhoun. So my trip a little backwards; this has no effect.
We are again in this bucolic Maine, forest, rivers, fishing. Tapply introduces his main character, a man without memory, at least officially, who settled there as a hermit in a remote cabin with Ralph his faithful four-legged friend.
I appreciate this Stoney gruff, somewhat poorly bear licked, who greets strangers with a rifle ready, but music to perfection, faithful lover of fine literature, and hard with a soft heart. If
came into his hut to find the tranquility and fresh air, it will remain so for long. Suffice it that his best friend, fishing guide like him, to disappear one fine day, he starts to pull the top straight. And the least we can say is that it will not end his troubles; things nice flow to the rhythm of nature, without haste, the book does not lack action. It's quiet, but not soft, there are no demonstrations macabre, but it is manly. On this point I disagree on the back cover which I believe there is a bit much. Mr
tapply makes us once again demonstrating that a police officer, does not mean rudeness or punish speech. Quite the contrary, he is happy to lyricism in her writing. Nature is everywhere, and the reader lives in communion with it, here gives us the forest smells, its rustling, its secrets too ... .... But for that you must read! Mr
tapply who had the bad idea to leave us too soon, except Dark Tiger I have yet to discover , do we deliver more ... superb stories to my great regret.
Another small note, the original title Bitch Creek, seemed more suited to this book that the translation given for the French edition. William
