Stunning! Rarified! A Tour de Force! -Joe Edd Morris, bestselling author of The Lost Page
New York City has secrets, and only one man charges admission to find them. He drifts through the subway underworld like a ghost and vanishes before anyone can follow.
But when a desperate newspaper editor arrives before dawn, hunting a missing reporter who has gone dangerously deep into a corporate corruption conspiracy, he agrees to lead the way. What follows is a descent through abandoned tunnels, hidden financial networks, and a villain's empire so absurd it could only flourish in New York. Every step reveals something stranger, and the stakes keep climbing.
Sharp as a satirical caper and steeped in city psychogeography, this literary crime thriller channels the dark comedy of Carl Hiaasen and the urban grit of Don Winslow. The city itself is the prize, and one outrageously brazen villain is determined to own it. The only question is whether going after him is worth the cost.
If you love witty mysteries laced with dark humor and suspense around every corner, this is your next obsession.
