"Blood work", a book from old culture...
This evening, I would speak you about a writer Michael Connelly and a book I read in 2002: Blood work (créance de sang en français). The hero is Terry McCaleb, who was a top man at the FBI until a heart ailment forced his early retirement. It's not a hero in fact but the woman was friendly and needed help... I recommand this book because I found into that I believe to be american culture and detective stories.
Blood Work won the Grand Prix, the highest honor for a mystery novel in France. It also won the Anthony Award and Macavity Award for Best Novel of 1998.
Blood Work was released motion picture with Clint Eastwood.
And Michael Connelly use e-culture for intimate his oeuvre on his site.
I recommand you to read this book while you holiday...when you'll have.

Interesting plot in this book. I have read four or five of this author's novels, and liked them. Blood Work has the cleverest plot idea. I enjoyed the movie version, too. Much better than Clint Eastwood's latest film about boxing.
I appreciate the art of suspens by Michael Connely and his heroe Harry Bosch, which Clint Eastwood I think didn't really transmitted in his movie (for me C.Eastwood didn't make good movies since Mindnight in the garde of good and Heaven or somthing like that, which was a great strange and excentric movie) - but I really prefered The Poet and in french "Les Egouts de Los Angeles". Did you read this books ?
Sorry Max, I read only "Darling Lily" (French Title) else, and I didn't see the movie. But if you want we speak about litterature, we can take a date on Msn.
