Book description
Artie Cohen's long-time 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 Macdonalds
and the hookers are trucked in with the vegetables, Artie goes after
Lily's attackers and finds himself drawn in to a web of sex, death and
deceit, struggling with the all-too personal implications of the case
as Lily lies in a coma.
A brilliantly concieved plot moves Artie from Paris through Europe
to Vienna and then, finally, back to his native New York on a
roller-coaster ride where there is no return ticket.
A journalist and documentary film maker, Reggie Nadelson is a New
Yorker who also makes her home in London. She is the author of six
novels featuring the detective Artie Cohen ('the detective every woman
would like to find in her bed' Guardian), most recently
Red Hook.
Her non-fiction book
Comrade Rockstar
, the story of the American who became the biggest rock star in the
Soviet Union, is to be made into a film starring Tom Hanks.
