Solomon's Vineyard
あらすじ・解説
Banned from publication in the U.S. due to its mature subject matter, Solomon's Vineyard is a tense, hard-boiled work starring Karl Craven, a non-nonsense guy who predates detectives like Lew Archer and Mike Hammer. Craven is out to rescue a wealthy heiress from a twisted cult. The novel's famous opening passage: "From the way her buttocks looked under the black silk dress, I knew she'd be good in bed. The silk was tight and under it the muscles worked slow and easy. I saw weight there, and control, and, brother, those are things I like in a woman. I put down my bags and went after her along the station platform" - explains why this was too hot for domestic publication. (Initially published in 1941 in the UK, a heavily bowdlerized version came out in the '50s, but the less said about that one the better.)
Audible制作部より
Narrator Kevin Kraft fully embodies prototypical tough guy Karl Craven with his cynical, unflappable tone in this notorious crime story. Originally banned from U.S. publication in the 1940s for its frank depiction of sexuality, this story follows amoral private investigator Karl as he is embroiled in a case involving a religious cult. It seems like a cut-and-dried situation to Karl until his partner is murdered and he gets mixed up with all kinds of shady characters. Listeners will enjoy Kraft's snappy delivery and the noir feel of his performance.
