Struggling screen writer Marvin Waller is the prime suspect in the disappearance of Sarah Hall. NYPD detectives Turner and Marcinko are convinced he's harboring a secret. Is anything in this tale what it seems?I recently stated that Good Reads is responsible for introducing me to interesting new authors. Stephen Leather's "The Basement" is a prime example.Unfortunately, I can't tell you why, without giving away the plot.The Basement was a quick, enjoyable read. Mr. Leather strips down the story line to it's most basic and important theme, and delivers something unique and entertaining.Just when I thought I had it all figured out, Mr. Leather threw a curve ball.Well done. This book is so insanely good, that I finished it in one night!Marvin Waller may not actually kill people, but he spends quite a bit of time writing about it for his screenplays - so much so that he becomes the subject of a police investigation into a serial killer. Unfortunately for the police, they have no idea who they are dealing with.Is this young man a murderer or is he too smart for his own good? If he’s not the killer, then who is?
What do You think about Il Sotterraneo (2012)?
If you're in the mood for something nasty, this is it. 7/10 rather than three stars.
