Brandy for a Hero

William O'Farrell

4.9/5 (34656 ratings)

Description:From the cover:" The Dark nightmare of events begins almost as soon as Hugh Granville steps into the shabby old apartment building. And it continues through a night of sheer terror as a curious pattern of crime and murder gives him into the care of a strange trio, Buzz and Nonnie and Frankie, and sends him back and forth across Manhattan and its rivers- while the great city moves along its way, unknowing and unperturbed. Young Dr. Granville's return to New York from voluntary exile was to be a return to friendship, to rewarding work, toa city he loved. He had not intended it to be a return to the past. Only necessity drives him back to the shrouded Brooklyn appartment, where he lived as a boy and where the stone balcony outside the French windows is a tangible reminder of past tragedy. At first the actions of the two professional killers and the girl with the hellfire eyes baffles Hugh. Why should they Kidnap him, put a brace on his leg, drive him to a New Jersey gambling place, and there put him on carefully guarded display? It is not until later that he sees a design in the pattern- when, behind the night's terrifying episodes, he begins to see the sinister hand of his lawyer-criminal cousin, Al Newbolt. Slowly he realizes that he is playing a vital role in an intricate scheme of murder- and that very likely, sometime after midnight, he himself will be murdered. Before the long night is over, the underworld makes its mark on the peace-loving doctor- and the doctor, in a breath-taking sequence of escape and capture, makes his own peculiar mark on the underworld. This is a first-rate novel of suspense which combines thrilling adventure with very human people and rises above the excitement of fast-moving hunt-and-chase to become a study of human tensions, reactions, and development."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
