Über diesen Titel

 A defense attorney who lives his life in shades of gray, Victor Carl fights all the right fights for all the wrong reasons. With a failing legal practice, a dead-end love life, and a pile of unpaid traffic tickets, Victor skates on the razor's edge of legal ethics in search of the easy buck. But the one absolute in Victor's life is loyalty, especially to a client, even if he happens to be dead. Like Joey Cheaps, a no-account who takes a knife to the throat down on the waterfront, but not before he shares with his lawyer his part in a terrible crime.

With his client murdered, Victor must search for a killer. But solving the crime means investigating the darkest spot in Joey Cheap's misspent youth, sending Victor on a twisting journey that leads to a missing suitcase stuffed with money, photographs of a mysterious naked woman, and a Supreme Court justice with a secret to hide. And most dangerous of all, Victor steps into the crosshairs of a vengeful enemy with a past full of pain and a taste for blood.

As thrilling as it is darkly evocative, Past Due is a superb tale of crime and justice that takes the intrepid Victor Carl into brilliant new territory and confirms William Lashner's place among the top suspense writers of our time.

Standout Audible performer Peter Francis James takes listeners into the dark and thrilling world of defense attorney Victor Carl with this audiobook from William Lashner. With James' gritty voice, Past Due grabs the listener by the collar and takes him along Carl's seedy and mysterious journey as he tries to figure out just how one of his clients could come to an early end. The deeper Carl goes, the more mysteries he uncovers, and he quickly finds himself caught in the crosshairs. Past Due is a suspenseful tale full of unexpected turns that cements William Lashner to the head of the mystery novel class.

Kritikerstimmen

"Lashner's writing (or is it Victor's character?) gains depth and richness with every installment." (Publishers Weekly)
"Lashner...has a rich, sometimes poetic style, but he leavens his prose with humor that fluctuates between morbid and whimsical. This is an extremely good crime novel, and it vaults Lashner into the upper reaches of the hardboiled universe, along with Pelecanos, Lehane, and a very few others." (Booklist)
