WELCOME TO NEW YORK. A PERILOUS PLAYGROUND FOR THE RICH, THE YOUNG AND THE TROUBLED, AND THE CRIMINALS WHO PREY UPON THEM.
Fueled by black coffee and vengeance, Felix Novak speeds across the country to New York City on a mission to find and kill whoever's responsible for his sister's death. Felix's childhood friend, Soraya Navarro, collided with the drug-addled Penelope the night she died. But Soraya may be too close to the nightclub establishment to really help. With time against him, Felix is forced to turn to the last person he wants to see: his father. A disgraced former cop turned P.I., Franklin Novak has the connections and muscle to work the city's underworld. Soraya doesn't trust Franklin, and the past has given her good reason. But Felix knows Franklin may be their only hope if they're ever going to catch his sister's killer.
"A hip and gritty triumph. Dark, dangerous and cool. I want to see more of these characters soon."
Ethan Black author of Dead for Life
"A beautifully written, hypnotically subtle tour through the hip underground of New York, with a cute guy in a cowboy hat to boot! I was very resentful of anything that came between me and finishing this book."
Lauren Henderson author of the Sam Jones series
"Alex Minter brilliantly redefines the New York mystery genre. Felix Novak and Soraya Navarro are a great new sleuthing pair, two hip, contemporary and complex kids whose stomping ground is the hottest real estate on the planet - Manhattan. This is a terrific new contribution to mystery readers and lovers, wherever they live."
Jon Katz author of Geeks and the Suburban Detective mystery series
