3.0 out of 5 stars
Good intro to a Chicago crime fiction writer,
By Ed Lynskey, "author of ASK THE DICE and THE Z... (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bad Guys (Mean Streets) (Paperback)
I've been meaning to read something by Eugene Izzi and had his BAD GUYS in paperback sitting on my TBR. I finally finished it. Years ago I read a long piece in the WASHINGTON POST on Izzi's life and bizarre death. Library Journal reported one of his books had a $50K publisher budget (in 1991 money), so I guess he was publicized. My count shows he was nominated three times for an Edgar.
BAD GUYS Jimbo Marino, a tough guy detective working undercover against the Mob. I like Izzi's characters and dialogue here more than I did the plot. The deaf computer wiz named Gizmo, for instance. The portray of Chicago's seamy side is convincing and the story's pace is fine. |
