Abandone Derek Thompson

MOST-ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 - FINANCIAL TIMES and the NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB

Derek Thompson is 'The Tooth Fairy,' a hard-charging minor league hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. When Derek discourages a youngster's hopes, he's sentenced to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand. At first, Derek "can't handle the tooth" - bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes…doing what tooth fairies do. But as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams

Robin Cook, più noto come Derek Raymond, uno dei più grandi scrittori di noir di tutti i tempi, era in grado di far respirare tra le pagine l'odore vero del sangue e cantare della follia quanto dell'amore. Denso come un liquore, come la paura, come la colpa, come Raymond Chandler, Jim Thompson, David Goodis, Chester Himes, ha regalato al noir un'anima metafisica. Era nato, come un piccolo principe, tra le lusinghe e i privilegi delle classi alte, il 12 giugno 1931, a Baker Street, a qualche passo dalla casa di Sherlock Holmes.
