Description
Artie Cohen's longtime girlfriend, Lily Hanes, has been found beaten up, raped and left for dead in an empty Parisian apartment. In the wintry French capital, where drugs are sold like fries at McDonalds and the hookers are trucked in with the vegetables, Artie looks for Lily's attackers and finds himself in a web of sex, death and deceit. A brilliantly conceived plot moves Artie from Paris through Europe to Vienna and then, finally, back to his native New York on a roller-coaster ride where show more there is no return ticket. 'This is jazz-loving, womanising Artie's fourth outing and consolidates his position as fiction's most exciting private dick - and keeps Nadelson up there with the crime greats.' Daily Mirror 'The book is classy noir entertainment - edgy, witty, slickly plotted . . . As with all good thriller writers Nadelson takes us to some authentically nasty places . . . She has perfect pitch for the voice of her hard-boiled, jazz-loving, skirt-chasing hero.' Independent show lessTags
