Présentation de l'éditeur
Wing is an experienced, practical man who enforces the law in his corner of Vermont with a steady hand and a generous tolerance. But when local tearaway Sean 'Superboy' Duke starts to get tangled up with a group of major league Russian criminals, things start to go awry in the sheriff's small, protected domain. With an ambitious and aggressive deputy snapping at his heels and a domestic crisis of his own to confront, Wing must call on all the personal resources he has cultivated during his working life: patience, tact, and - especially - humour.
Revue de presse
All That I Have shares many small-town, big-crime themes with Cormac McCarthy's
No Country for Old Men... it is impossible not to appreciate this spare, meditative and seamlessly crafted novel.'
The Times
'I loved this book. A small miracle - sharp, sly, moving and full of heart.'
Nick Cave
'Wonderful... every paragraph a gem. Freeman - like Cormac McCarthy, like Annie Proulx - shows us the awkward realness of such lives, and does it with humour, with wry perception, with great style.'
RJ Ellory
'The dialogue between each of the marvelously authentic characters is superb, merging an engrossing and suspenseful plot with a brilliantly dark sense of humour.' --
The Crack
'Less a genuine thriller than a meditation on human nature and masculinity, the nub of this slow-burning but memorable book seems to be that sometimes it's wiser, and braver, to do nothing.' --
Financial Times
'A serving of Vermont wit and wisdom, with a modicum of crime solving on the side... though it's not the suspense but the sly, country-cousin charm of Freeman's storytelling that is the main attraction.' --
Boston Globe
