Descriptions du produit

From Publishers Weekly

These three detective tales may not have quite the panache of The Anderson Tapes or the Deadly Sin series, but each is suspenseful, well wrought and stamped with Sanders's special insight into the baser aspects of human nature. They feature Timothy Cone, "the Wall Street dick," who works for an investigative agency, has an affair going with his boss Samantha and, though unprepossessing in manner and appearance, feels driven to uncover the scams behind the glossy fronts of wealthy business; he can also smell a dummy corporation or a money-laundering operation a mile away. The files deal respectively with a murderous real-estate conglomerate, a fertility clinic devoted to considerably more than "original biotechnological research" and an investment house involved in drugsthough only detective work of the highest caliber can discover the seamy details. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternates.

4.0étoiles sur 5 great stories, Janv. 20 2004
This review is from: The Timothy Files (Hardcover)
This book was written several years ago, but it still packs a punch. It contains three files or cases involving Timothy Cone, a private eye working for a company that investigates businesses for their clients. He is an interesting character---he lives very simply in a cheap apartment (his bed is a mattress on the floor) with a neutered tomcat named Cleo, is having an affair with his manager, which no one knows about and is a little unusual, in that the way they communicate with each other is more on the rude side than lovey-dovey side. It made for a rather entertaining story in itself and then the case files added along with it even more so. I really enjoyed the book!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Timothy Cone is the man., Juil 22 1999
Par Un client
When I see reader reviews lauding Sanders' work on Arch McNally, and then only half-baked reviews on his work with Timothy Cone, I wonder what the crime/detective fiction world readership is coming to.

Timothy Cone is the boiled-down essence of the hard-bitten noir detective, not some rich fop who happened into investigations because his daddy is a rich lawyer. McNally? Gimme a break.

The Timothy Files, and Timothy's Game, are Sanders at his best: a real character who fits his surroundings like the shabby hat the character wears, a man who likes rainy days because they fit his disposition better than happy "hellos" and birhgt sunshine, a guy who can get into the seedy underside of things and find out how the wheels are turning inside the dark recesses of people's minds. Motive, desire, love, greed, and yes, sometimes fists, knives and guns are the stock in trade of detective fiction, and Sanders explores that dark extreme most effectively in his Timothy series.

But you won't see Arch down at the waterfront dive, extracting info from criminals by bracing them with implied and not-so-implied threats...he's way too busy with cocktails at the club.

If you are a true fan of hard-boiled detective fiction, read and revel in Timothy's Game. If not, read anything about McNally...in between reels of Mary Poppins.

Don't get me wrong. I like mysteries and P.I. stories. I collect them - I have thousands in my library. But this has got to be one of the worst fictions I have encountered. Even my wife, who finishes everything she reads, threw this one down by page 50 or so. I don't know Sanders, but he must've been taking a holiday when he wrote this.
