Sinossi editore
<p>A "Sun Sentinel "Best Mystery Debut of the Year<p>"Andrew Hunt makes a hell of an impressive debut with "City of Saints." Art Oveson is a truly unique character on the crime fiction landscape, a young, inexperienced Mormon lawman headed down streets no one would ever suspect were so mean. The Utah landscape is rugged and beautiful and the 1930s setting make this novel an irresistible read. Think a Black Mask classic directed by John Sayles and you'll get the idea." <br>--Ace Atkins, "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Lost Ones <br>"""City of Saints "is the best debut novel you'll read this year, maybe any year. It's got everything a great crime novel should have: a complicated mystery, a protagonist you root for, a place and time beautifully evoked, and an emotional intensity that often leaves you breathless.

It features a twisty, brilliant plot, great insight and historical richness regarding an area few of us know much about. Like Tony Hillerman in New Mexico, Hunt has made his old home town his own." <br>--Robert Ward, author of "Four Kinds of Rain"<p>"Set in 1930, Hunt's triumphant mystery debut introduces Salt Lake County deputy Art Oveson, a loving family man and committed Mormon. ... Winner of the 2011 Hillerman Prize, this hard-edged whodunit with echoes of James Ellroy warrants a sequel."<p>--"Publishers Weekly "(starred review)<p>"This engrossing historical debut is set in 1930 Salt Lake City and based on a true case. Narrated ... in the first person, the procedural steadily builds up steam and explodes in all the right places. History professor Hunt's title won the 2011 Tony Hillerman Prize. Pair with Sheldon Russell and Lisa Black."<p>--"Library Journal "(starred review) <p>"Hunt's firs Per saperne di più…
