Descriere & specificații

A first-rate entertainment ("New York Daily News"), "Condominium" is a panoramic novel from a master of suspense that follows the disappearance of an American paradise, the corrupt souls willing to sell out to make a buck, the innocent masses caught in their wake and the perfect storm that washes everything away. Introduction by Dean Koontz Welcome to Florida s Golden Sands, the dream condominium complex built on a weak foundation and a thousand dirty secrets. The real estate was a steal literally. The maintenance charges run high as the locals are run out. It s the home of shortcuts, crackdowns, breakups, oversights, and payoffs. Add it all up, and the new coastline community doesn t stand a chance against the ever-present specter of disaster: the dreaded hurricane. The big one is coming. Golden Sands is right in its path. And only a few brave souls have the power to stop this towering eyesore from going underwater for good. Praise for John D. MacDonald and "Condominium" Most readers loved John D. MacDonald s work because he told a rip-roaring yarn. I loved it because he was the first modern writer to nail Florida dead-center, to capture all its languid sleaze, racy sense of promise, and breath-grabbing beauty. Carl Hiaasen A narrative of wracking suspense that mounts to a devastating climax. " Cosmopolitan" John D. MacDonald created a staggering quantity of wonderful books, each rich with characterization, suspense, and an almost intoxicating sense of place. Jonathan Keller
