Descriere magazin:
First published in the US in 1943 by Duell, Sloan and Pearce, New York. A classic World War II-era noir with a page-turning plot, a cast of colorfully sinister characters and a protagonist who is thrust into the heart of political intrigue, this captivating 1943 novel parallels the spy novels of Grahame Greene, Eric Ambler, and the films of Hitchcock and Lang. But in -signature Hughes fashion, The Blackbirder has a genre-bending twist: its hardboiled protagonist is a woman. Born of American expatriate parents, Julie Guilles was a pretty, sheltered rich girl growing up in Paris, a favorite of the Ritz Bar set. But everything changed when the Nazis rolled into the City of Lights. After three years of life underground, Julie is hiding out in New York; but she knows trouble is coming when the corpse of an acquaintance appears on her doorstep. With a host of possible dangers on her tail-the Gestapo, the FBI and the New York cops-she embarks on a desperate journey to Santa Fe in search of her last, best hope. The Blackbirderis a legend among refugees, a trafficker in human souls who flies under the radar to bring people to safety across the Mexican border-for a price. With no resources at her disposal but a smuggled diamond necklace and her own razor-sharp wits, Julie must navigate a tangle of dangers-and take a stand in the worldwide struggle that has shattered the lives of millions. In contrast to the typical representations of wartime women as Mrs. Minivers guarding home and hearth, Dorothy B. Hughes gives her intrepid heroine a place at the heart of the action.
