Publisher's Summary:
Frank Clemons, an ex-cop turned private detective, faces a pair of perplexing cases on the mean streets of New York City.
The first case is simple. A wealthy mans wife has grown distant, and he asks Frank Clemons, a private eye hardened by his past work on Atlantas homicide beat, to find out why. There are a number of simple reasons why a young woman might withdraw from her older husband, but the spurned spouse rejects them all. Her jewelry is disappearing, but he insists that she doesnt have trouble with blackmail, drugs, or gambling. The answer must be more complex, and he begs Frank to find out what it is.
Meanwhile, an old woman familiar to Frank from his nights haunting Tenth Avenue has been murdered, and a gypsy priestess claims that she killed her. But Frank is unconvinced, and unearthing these womens secrets will force him deep into the dark side of a city that he still cannot call home.
Critic Reviews:
As always, the authors gritty cityscape maintains its melancholy charm. (The New York Times)
Cook evokes New Yorks pungent atmosphere, complete with homeless people and all-night grocery stores, and makes Franks profound loneliness palpable. (Publishers Weekly)
Cook has shown himself to be a writer of poetic gifts, constantly pushing against the presumed limits of crime fiction. (Los Angeles Times Book Review)
