Outsourced Zusammenfassung

Outsourced Dave Zeltserman

Following on from his ultra noir trilogy - Small Crimes, Pariah and Killer - is Outsourced, Zeltserman's most commercial book to date. A classic heist thriller pitched somewhere between Ocean's Eleven and Dog Day Afternoon, it's the story of a group of software engineers who lose their jobs due to an industry push to outsourcing. Desperate, and seeing their middle class lives crumbling apart, they come up with a brilliant plan to use their computing skills to rob a bank. But not even a systems analyst can foresee every eventuality, so the group falls foul of the Russian Mafia. Movie rights have already been sold to Outsourced. The film will be produced by the team behind the hugely successful Resident Evil films.

Outsourced Bewertungen

a dryly witty take on the heist caper genre... a fast-paced action romp that has the inestimable advantage... that its characters are actually human -- Peter Millar * The Times *
Zeltserman creates an intense atmospheric maze for readers to observe Denton's twisting and turning between his rocks and hard places. Denton is one of the best-realised characters I have read in this genre, and the powerfully noir-ish, uncompromising plot, which truly keeps one guessing from page to page, culminates with a genuinely astonishing finale * Sunday Express *
Zeltserman is the author of increasingly accomplished crime novels, distinguished by spare and crisp prose, believable dialogue, imaginative plot twists and tightly wound characters who don't wear out their welcome * Newsday *
Dave Zeltserman is one of the new, highly original voices in crime fiction, his writing spare, disciplined and concrete. His plots are as original as anyone writing hard-boiled fiction with an attractive noir edge, and always grimly entertaining * Weekend Australian *
A small gem of crime fiction * Booklist USA *
A riveting thriller all too topical in todays job market, Outsourced is a read that shouldn't be overlooked for thriller readers. * Midwest Book Reviews, USA *
A dark, lightning-paced read * Financial Times *
Bodies mount up as the double dealing and revenge gather apace. The blurb on the book describes it as a fast-paced, edge-of-your seat crime novel, and it really does live up to the hype. Add this to your holiday reading list for a piece of escapism * Morning Star *
You can outsource software engineering, but so far at least you can't outsource crime writing as good as Zeltserman's. * Boston Globe *
