But it seems that one of them has turned against him and now he's the one with a bounty on his head. It's a race against time as he tries to survive being a high-priced target and find out which of his confidantes is the traitor. Rated: MATURE

"Kirjutamise nauding ei peitu loos, mida ma kirjutan, vaid muusikas, mis neist sõnadest sünnib." - Truman Capote1940ndate New York. Linn, kus tormilised kokteilipeod kestavad läbi öö ja võivad parimal juhul lõppeda hommikueinega maailma kõige luksuslikumas juveeliäris Tiffany juures. Mõistagi ei oota ilusad tüdrukud neile olengutele Holly Golightlyt - tüdrukut, keda ajavad taga nii mafioosod, elumeestest miljonärid kui ka algajad kirjanikud. Holly Golightly on habras suure suu ja nipsninaga iludus, seiklejast lapsnaine, kes hõljub kergelt läbi elu, jättes endast maha murtud südamed. "Sõbrale ma auku ei kaeva. Isegi siis mitte, kui tõestatakse, et ta on terve nunnakloostri ära mürgitanud. Mina mõõdan inimesi selle järgi, kuidas nad minusse suhtuvad." See on Holly lihtne elufilosoofia, mis oma hoogsa elunautimise ja moodsa pahelisusega on korduvalt ainest pakkunud ka popkultuurile. 1961. aastal linastus samanimeline film Audrey Hepburniga peaosas."Truman Capote on minu põlvkonna kõige täiuslikum kirjanik." - Norman Mailer"Mr Bell, ärge teie küll hakake metslooma armastama," soovitas Holly. "See Doci viga oligi, et tema hakkas. Kogu aeg tõi metsloomi koju. Ükskord murtud tiivaga kulli. Teinekord täiskasvanud ilvese, kellel jalg haige. Aga oma südant ei tohi sa metsloomale anda: sa annad südame talle ja tema saab tugevaks. Lõpuks on ta nii tugev, et jõuab metsa joosta. Või puu otsa lennata. Ja siis kõrgema puu otsa. Ja siis taevasse. Nii te lõpetate, Mr Bell. Kui hakkate metslooma armastama. Lõpetate nii, et teie jääte taevasse vahtima." Joe Bell ütles mulle: "Ta on täis kui tina.""Enam-vähem," jäi Holly nõusse. "Aga Doc sai minust aru. Ma seletasin talle nii hästi, kui ma mõistsin, ja tema sai aru. Me surusime kätt ja kaisutasime teineteist ja ta soovis mulle kõike head." Holly vaatas kella. "Nüüd peaks ta juba Sinimägedes olema.""Millest ta üldse räägib?" küsis Joe Bell minult. Holly tõstis klaasi. "Soovime ka Docile kõike head," ütles ta ja lõi minuga kokku. "Kõike head, kallis Doc, ja usu mind: taevasse vahtida on parem kui taevas elada. Tühi ja sompus koht. Koht, kus on äikest ja kus kõik lakkab olemast."
An engaging first novel that takes a humorous look at the ever-growing singles scene, and the dilemma of successful thirty-something women trying and often failing to 'have it all'.
Do you remember the best summer of your life?New York City, 1945. Marjorie Jacobson and her best friend, Marty Garrett, arrive fresh from the Kappa house at the University of Iowa hoping to find summer positions as shopgirls. Turned away from the top department stores, they miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co., becoming the first women to ever work on the sales floor--a diamond-filled day job replete with Tiffany blue shirtwaist dresses from Bonwit Teller's--and the envy of all their friends.Hart takes us back to the magical time when she and Marty rubbed elbows with the rich and famous; pinched pennies to eat at the Automat; experienced nightlife at La Martinique; and danced away their weekends with dashing midshipmen. Between being dazzled by Judy Garland's honeymoon visit to Tiffany, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with Caf Society, she fell in love, learned unforgettable lessons, made important decisions that would change her future, and created the remarkable memories she now shares with all of us.
A memoir of a New York City summer during the waning days of World War II recounts how the University of Iowa coed author and her best friend became the first women to work on the sales floor at Tiffany & Co., a job during which they basked in period culture, from USO dances and the Stork Club to nickel subway rides and the Eisenhower parade.
