News from Robert J. Randisi
It’s
all about BROOKLYN
Robert
J. Randisi
In 2011 my
novel, THE END OF BROOKLYN, was published. It was meant as the third and final
entry in what turned out to be a “Nick Delvecchio” trilogy. Why it came
20 years after the second nook is a mystery, even to me. but because it did it
had to be written that way. In parts of the book, Nick had to be 20 years
older. It was a joy to write, mainly because I was able to go back to
Nick and Brooklyn 20 years after I, myself, had left them.
This was
what my Booklist review looked like
* Starred Review
Booklist. "The final entry in Randisi's Brooklyn trilogy is dark,
brooding, and thoroughly compelling [with] . . . clever plotting and an
engaging narrative voice. Randisi has written hundreds of crime stories and
earned numerous awards. This is among his finest efforts." (Wes Lukowsky,
Booklist, May 2011).
It was very gratifying
for two reasons. One, I wasn’t sure how Nick and Brooklyn would sound 20 years
later and two, We Lukoswksy had reviewed a lot of my work over the years, so
his opinion in very informed.
END was published by
Perfect Crime in 2011, and now, in 2014, they are bringing back the first two
books, NO EXIT FROM BROOKLYN, and THE DEAD OF BROOKLYN. So for the first
time all three “Delvecchio” novels are available at the same time from the same
place. “Nick Delvecchio” is one my my best, my favorite, and my most fully
realized characters. (Available from Amazon, B&N, the PerfectCrime
website, and many mystery bookstores).
