Boevye psy ne plyashut

Arturo Peres-Reverte nikogda ne povtoryaetsya — kazhdaya ego kniga ne pohozha na predyduschuyu. No v dannom sluchae on prevzoshel sam sebya i opravdal luchshie nadezhdy predannyh chitateley. «Boevye psy ne plyashut» — eto brutal'naya i mestami ochen' veselaya pritcha v luchshih tradiciyah fil'mov Gaya Richi: o mire, gde predannost' — eto zhivotnyy instinkt. Byvshiy boycovskiy pes Arap zhivet razmerennoy zhizn'yu — ohranyaet hozyayskiy ambar i provodit svobodnye chasy, popivaya anisovye othody mestnoy vinokurni. Odnazhdy dva priyatelya Arapa — rodeziyskiy ridzhbek Teo i vystavochnyy borzoy aristokrat Krasavchik Boris — bessledno ischezayut, i Arap, pochuyav neladnoe, otpravlyaetsya na ih poiski. On budet vynuzhden probrat'sya v to mesto, gde kogda-to sniskal slavu otmennogo ubiycy i kuda nadeyalsya bol'she nikogda ne vernut'sya — v yamu Zhivoderni. Odnako popast' tuda — eto poldela, potom esche nuzhno sumet' unesti ottuda lapy.
