Title: Windward Passage
Author: Jim Nisbet
Narrator: Barry Press
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 20 hours 58 minutes
Release date: November 15, 2013
Genres: Police & Detective
Publisher's Summary:
From the writer whose work has been called 'truly, hellishly gritty' (Los Angeles Times) comes a gnarled mystery with shades of Philip K. Dick and James Ellroy. In a parallel near future, a ship named for a jellyfish sinks into the Caribbean with its captain chained to the mast. Left behind is a logbook missing ten pages, presidential DNA hidden in a brick of smuggled cocaine, and a nearly completed novel. Tipsy, the dead sailor's sister, and Red Means, his erstwhile employer, travel from San Francisco to the Caribbean and back as they attempt to unravel a mystery that rapidly widens from death at sea to international conspiracy. With verve and humor to match the Illuminatus! trilogy, Nisbet has fashioned an engaging facsimile of our modern world, albeit with snappier dialogue, amped-up technology, and even more clearly stated political prejudices. 'Neither Norman Mailer nor Truman Capote has in their writing been able to produce such an intensity as Nisbet has achieved,' writes Germany's Die Welt. Pick up Windward Passage and see why.
