Klappentext Now available in a tall Premium Edition! "True Detectives" follows Moe Reed and Aaron Fox on the twisted trail of a missing girl. This dark! baffling whodunit forces the brothers to put aside their mutual animosity to confront the unresolved family mystery that had turned them into enemies. Chapter One August 9, 1979   Alleged air-conditioning," said Darius Fox. "What's your take, John Jasper? Motor pool morons set us on bake or broil?"   Jack Reed laughed and used a meaty, freckled forearm to clear sweat from his face. Scanning the night-darkened Dumpsters and butt-sides of shuttered, low-rent businesses that lined the alley, he sucked on his Parliament and blew smoke out the cruiser's window as Darius kept the car moving forward at ten mph.   Ten years ago, to the day, the Manson Family had butchered Sharon Tate and a whole bunch of other people.

Nothing. Good. One half of the shift had passed.   Jack Reed said, "Alleged, as in Jimmy Carter's a commander in chief."   "Now you're getting unpleasantly political."   "That's a problem?"   "Night like this it is."   "Truth is truth, Darius. It was Peanut Boy helped that loony towel-head back into Eye-Ran and look at all the crap that brought down."   "No debate on Farmer Bucktooth being a nitwit, John Jasper. I just don't want to pollute our precious time together with small things like international affairs."   Reed thought about that. "Fair enough."   "I'm known for my fairness."   Slow shift; the usual drunk and disorderlies at Mexican dance halls on Vermont, a couple of false-alarm burglary c...
