あらすじ
It's not long before Grant finds himself on live television busting an armed robbery, spreading his arms wide to show he's unarmed - the same pose that earned him the nickname "Resurrection Man" in Boston. The spotlight may be good for Grant's profile, but it's bad for his health. The Dominguez drug cartel is looking for him, and his work for the senator has uncovered a ring of dirty cops who want him out of the way. Helped by an ex-cop working on CSI: NY and hindered by a film crew that wants to make him a reality TV star, Grant must tread carefully. In the city of angels corruption runs deep, loyalty is fragile, and justice is hard to find. "A cop with a sharp eye, keen mind, and a lion's heart." - REED FARREL COLEMAN, New York Times Bestselling Author of WHAT YOU BREAK "Campbell writes smart, roller-coaster tales with unstoppable forward momentum and thrilling authenticity. The Resurrection Man series is a blast." - NICK PETRIE, Bestselling Author of LIGHT IT UP and the Peter Ash series.
作品考察・見どころ
コリン・キャンベルが描く本作の真髄は、過去を背負った男・グラントが、虚飾の街で「英雄」として不本意に祭り上げられる皮肉な構造にあります。正義を貫く行為がメディアのレンズ越しに消費されていく危うさは、現代社会が抱える病理を鋭く突いています。 暴力と腐敗の闇を、研ぎ澄まされた文体で疾走感たっぷりに描き出す筆致は圧巻です。カルテルや汚職警官に包囲されながらも、己の流儀を貫く孤独な彼の姿には、ハードボイルド特有の悲哀と、折れない魂の高潔さが宿っています。読者の心に強烈な爪痕を残す、真にタフな名作です。
