#BlogTour- ‘The Case’ by Leopold Borstinski

About the book…

One Private Eye. One Case. One sackful of trouble.

When Jake agrees to take a package across America, he doesn’t know if he’ll live to tell the tale.

If the CIA, the Feds and the British Secret Service don’t get him then the mob will. How’s a cowardly private dick going to survive in these bloody times?

The Case is a stand-alone pulp noir novel. A wry take on the jaw-dropping violent side of private investigator life by Leopold Borstinski, writer of the six-book Lagotti Family series.

In this stand alone novel, Leopold Borstinski brings his professional experiences as a P.I to bear in a frantic, frenetic race against time .

Jake has to deliver a parcel which should in itself be a straight forward task, if it weren’t for all the people after him. This includes the Mafia , whose antics Leopold describes so well in his ‘Lagotti Family series’ , it has a retro feel reminiscent of Mario Puzo, whose spectre I suspect lingers over anyone who ventures into this area.

Gritty, noirish and dark, yet not devoid of patches of humour to lighten the mood, this book is not for the easily offended or those who find swearing objetionable, To be frank, a book involving blackmail, double crossing and crime is hardly going to be floating in an ‘Oh my gosh!’ sea of expressions! SO YOU ARE WARNED!

Being a tough nut, this bothered me NOT AT ALL, it adds authenticity to the story and grit int he wheels of the plot.

Jake is a hard character to get to know, he is not the guy in the white hat, and that is the point-no-one is really above corruption, lines get blurred between right and wrong no matter what side of the law you are on, when greed, power and ambition get involved.

It reflects such a long time period as well, which is the later half of the 20th century, so you really get a feel for the time period and the monumental changes comparing then to now.It also emphasises the HUGENESS of the case and as time goes on the stakes get higher and higher…

Will Jake make it to the end of the novel? What is in the package?You’ll have to read ‘The Case’ to find out…
