Book description
A murder in New York's diamond district; a dead Chinese girl with a
photograph in her pocket; a plastic bag of irradiated heroin lying on
the mantelpiece in an empty apartment; a fire in a sweatshop in the
city's swarming Chinatown; the worst blizzard in New York history...
These events conspire to bring ex-cop Artie Cohen out of retirement
and back into an obsessive world of murder and politics that nearly
killed him. Artie's struggles to link them take him from New York, his
own back yard, to Hong Kong, site of the last big grab on earth, where
everything, and everyone, is for sale...
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.
