4.0 out of 5 stars Masterful, fun and highly recommended., 18 Jun 2004
By A Customer
CHARLIE OPERA by Charlie Stella (Read by Russel) (Currently amazon.co.uk seem not to have it in stock other than a very price 1st edition hardback) So, here's a writer I missed until recently. Charlie Stella is a New York writer who deals in wise guys, undercover cops, hookers and a very twisted sense of humour. Charlie Opera tells the story of what happens when a window cleaner accidentally breaks the jaw of a New York wiseguy and finds himself tailed to Vegas by mobsters determined to get their revenge. Add to the mix Charlie's cheating wife, the mob's own internal war and some killer dialogue and you have a book that brings to mind Elmore Leonard were he to write an episode of The Sopranos. With a pedigree like that, you can't fail to have a good book on your hands. Stella's greatest strength is his dialogue. His characters come across in sharp focus and their verbal sparring is entertaining, enlightening and utterly believable. According to sources I've missed out on at least two other books by Stella but, trust me, they're being searched out as we speak. Masterful, fun and highly recommended.
