These elements combine to create a distinctive and compelling reading experience for his audience.






Bone est l'un des sans-abri de New York. Muet et sans mémoire, il se distingue néanmoins de la foule errante, peut-être à cause du fémur humain ancien qu'il porte partout. Mais lorsqu'une série de meurtres atroces frappe les sans-abri, la police est convaincue que Bone est impliqué, et Bone doit désespérément reconstituer son passé perdu.
Mongo verstrikt in huiveringwekkende occulte zaken
Drie schijnbaar afzonderlijke onderzoeken naar de occulte onderwereld van New York City, met covens, tovenaars, tarotlezers, geloofsgenezers en handlezers, komen samen in een enkele, explosieve climax.
Chess, espionage, and redemption are the themes of "King's Gambit", the novel that began a remarkable career. "Chesbro writes wonderfully strange mystery novels. . . . In Chesbro's hands (the events) are not only possible but real enough to make you nervous . . . perfectly calculated, nail-biting tension".--"Boston Sunday Herald".
