Local tough guy Frank Minna hires the adolescent Lionel and three other orphans from St Vincent's Home for Boys and grooms them to become the Minna Men, a fly-by-night detective-agency-cum-limoservice. Then one terrible day Frank is murdered, and Lionel must become a real detective. With crackling dialogue, a dazzling evocation of place, and a plot which mimics Tourette's itself in its freshness and capacity to shock, Motherless Brooklyn is a bravura performance: funny, tense, touching, and extravagant.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionTopic: Crime Thrillers & MysteryType: MysteryRelease Year: 2004 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
