A Kiss before dying / Levin, Ira

Público Ubicación : 813.30872/L588k Autores: Levin, Ira, Autor Título : A Kiss before dying Fuente : 3a ed. United States of America [US] : Jove Books, 1981, 300 p. Temas : AMERICAN  LITERATURE,  PSYCHOLOGICAL  -  MYSTERY  NOVEL Resumen : At the beginning of the novel, Bud Corliss returns from serving in World War II. He was stationed in the Pacific until he received an honorable discharge in 1947. Though he witnessed egregious crimes against humanity, Corliss doesn’t manifest any of the shell-shock signs of a typical soldier who has survived these experiences. In fact, during the war, he relished scenarios in which he exerted power over his adversaries. The moment in which he felt the most power was after wounding a Japanese sniper. Incapacitated and fearing for his life, the soldier wet his pants, prompting Corliss’s simultaneous feelings of disgust and superiority. This experience at war establishes his psychopathic tendencies and suggests that he is deeply broken beneath his calm and bright exterior. After Corliss’s discharge, he goes back to the United States and starts college. There, he meets Dorothy Kingship and courts her because her father is a copper industry tycoon. He hopes to somehow use the connection to become wealthy himself but keeps their relationship a secret while he plots out his strategy. When Dorothy discloses that she is pregnant, Corliss panics. He does not intend to assume the responsibilities of a father, and fears that Dorothy’s conservative father will break ties with her and ruin his shot at becoming rich. He concocts an evil plan in which he convinces an oblivious Dorothy to write a note that, once taken out of context, could easily be interpreted as a suicide letter. He then stages her suicide by throwing her off the top of a building. Because Dorothy had followed his request to not tell anyone about their relationship, Corliss gets away with no ties to the “suicide.” He returns to his typical days living with his mother, who thinks her son is a model citizen....leer masleer menos

Paris trout / Dexter, Pete

Público Ubicación : 813.54/D644p Autores: Dexter, Pete, Autor Título : Paris trout Fuente : New York [US] : Penguin Books, 1988, 306 p. Temas : AMERICAN  LITERATURE,  PSYCHOLOGICAL  NOVEL  -  SUSPENSE Resumen : Paris Trout is a wealthy merchant and moneylender in a small town in the American South. Among his debtors is Henry Ray, a Black man who has decided not to pay him because he suspects—rightly—that he has been swindled. Paris Trout goes to Henry's house to demand his money, can't find it, and ends up killing Rosie, a girl Henry's mother had taken to live with her family. It is an absurd, gratuitous murder, unjustifiable even for a racist community in the American South in the 1950s. But Paris is white, he is rich, and if he plays by the rules his lawyer suggests, he can get away with a minimal sentence. But, in addition to being rich and white, he is a psychotic who accepts no laws other than those he dictates himself, and his first crime will be merely the initial impulse to unleash his highly reasoned madness, which will engulf everyone around him in a devastating whirlwind of violence....leer masleer menos
