A Drift of Leaves (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

A small town just across the border from Colorado, standing about halfway between Cheyenne and Laramie, just off the Lincoln Highway. As far as Jimmy Henschel was concerned that was all anybody needed to know about Roseville WY.It was a place where nothing ever happened, a place that people passed through on their way to somewhere better. The only interesting thing was the airbase, but they never saw any planes because it didn't even have a proper runway.Everything changed when the stranger turned up and moved into the house right across the street from Jimmy.He was a foreigner, maybe even a Russian, and he seemed pretty suspicious.But that was just the start, and it wasn't long before the town seemed to be full of strangers.Then there were the rumours of some new construction site just the other side of the base.Suddenly Roseville WY, population 1501 (including half a dozen stray dogs) was beginning to look very interesting.Eighteen hundred miles east of Roseville, Jan Olsen was a Lieutenant in the NYPD, working the graveyard shift out of the Fifth Precinct. He had lived through the mob wars and prohibition, and had seen more dead bodies than he cared to remember, but there was one that he was unable to shake out of his consciousness, and he knew that he would travel to the ends of the earth to find the man who had planted it there.
