A proposito di questo titolo
"Vikas Adams' excellent narration gives personality and distinction to the characters in this audiobook... [his] vocal dexterity makes it seem like there's a full cast portraying the men and women in the audiobook." — AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)
Lev AC Rosen delivers a new and captivating 1950s mystery in this dazzling, award-winning series. This program is read by Audie Award–winning and Audiofile Golden Voice narrator Vikas Adam.
Private Investigator Evander “Andy” Mills’ next case takes him out of his comfort zone in San Francisco—and much to his dismay, back home to Los Angeles. After a secretive queer rights organization called the Mattachine Society enlists Andy to find some missing members, he must dodge not only motorcycle gangs and mysterious forces, but his own mother, too.
Avoiding her proves to be a challenge when the case leads Andy to the psychiatric clinic she works at. Worlds collide, buried secrets are dug up, and Andy realizes he's going to have to make some hard choices. With secrets, drugs, and doctors swirling around him, time is running out for Andy to locate the missing and get them to safety. And for him to make it back to San Francisco in one piece.
"Adam's narration is as pitch-perfect as ever." —AudioFile on Rough Pages
"[Adam's] performance enhances the atmosphere of the entire audiobook. Both author and narrator are top-notch." —AudioFile on The Bell in the Fog
A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books
Recensioni della critica
Praise for Lev AC Rosen
"[A] well-built procedural with fascinating tidbits of queer history... The real magic, though, is in Rosen’s depiction of the struggles and triumphs of mid century queer life: he highlights pockets of LGBTQ+ resilience, including Evander’s San Francisco community and emergent gay subcultures in L.A., without painting the past in too rosy a light. This series deserves a long life." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Mirage City
"As with earlier series entries, character development and worldbuilding take center stage. Should appeal to fans of Cat Sebastian and KJ Charles and those who enjoy a gritty noir detective story with an appealing protagonist." —Library Journal on Mirage City
“Movingly explores the strain of trying to pass as straight at a time when living an authentic life could be deadly.” —The New York Times Book Review on Lavender House
“Required reading for anyone who wonders what it was like to be queer before Stonewall.” —Kirkus Reviews on Mirage City
“Rosen’s smart, bittersweet tale plays with the oldest truth of all: the price we pay for our identity in America.” —Walter Mosley on Lavender House
“A new take on a Golden Age crime novel…richly cinematic.” —The Washington Post on Lavender House
“Rosen is a star. Standing ovation!” —Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of All This Could Be Yours
“Gripping... Readers will be ready for the next Mills adventure as soon as this one ends.” —Publishers Weekly on The Bell in the Fog
“Rosen is one of a kind and just gets better.” —Dan Chaon, New York Times bestselling author of Sleepwalk
