Über diesen Titel

Murder and family secrets, a touch of romance and deeply felt revenge - with the twist of all twists - make up the ingredients of One Good Deed. A gripping audiobook for all those who love mystery, crime, Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie from one of the world's favourite thriller writers, David Baldacci.

In 1949, Aloysius Archer arrives in the dusty Southern town of Poca City. He has nothing but a handful of dollars, the clothes he’s wearing and an appointment with his new parole officer. After his wartime experiences in Italy and a prison sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, Archer is looking for a fresh start and a peaceful life.

On his first night of freedom, Archer meets local business tycoon Hank Pittleman, who promises Archer handsome compensation to work as his debt collector. Yet Archer takes on more than he bargains for, as he becomes embroiled in a long-running feud between the drought-struck town’s most dangerous residents. When one of them dies, the authorities label Archer as their number one suspect.

A bloody game is being played above and below the law. Everybody playing has a deeply buried secret, and Archer must uncover them all - if he’s to avoid going back behind bars.

Kritikerstimmen

One of his finest books. Great character, great story, great portrait of an era (Bill Clinton)
A mile-a-minute read that proves once again why David Baldacci has readers the world over flocking for more (Jane Harper, bestselling author of The Dry)
Alternately chilling, poignant, and always heart-poundingly suspenseful (Scott Turow)
Alle Sterne

so far the books of Baldacci haven't impressed me much: too much of stereotypical storylines and so on.
hovewer, this first Archer novel was sublime, a true and well composed noir detective novel of my taste: the story's is credible yet creative as are the characters and their intelligent conversations.
The speaker is also very well spoken and the way he adjusts his pace of voice to the plot, is just awesome ;).

a revelation

Even the narrator has this old intonation of black and white movies. I was afraid, this story could be little off without the modern means of communication and information research. But actually the author had to be much stronger in storytelling and reasoning to make it work. So I like this crime story much more than many others taking in today's time. The hero "Archer" is strong principled and often thinks too harmless about other people. In a way he is too gullible. But he never gives up so that at the end things are getting really interesting.

Exceptional set into old times in style
