Book description
It's a late summer Sunday in downtown New York City, and Artie Cohen
is getting married. Watching the sun rising over the East River, he's content.
A message comes in from an old friend, Sid McKay, asking Artie to
come out to Red Hook in Brooklyn. It's his wedding day, but Artie owes
Sid, so he goes.
On arriving he finds a dead man spreadeagled in the water off the
old docks. When Sid eventually shows up, he's scared, edgy and
evasive, Artie suspects he's holding something back.
Even at his own wedding party, later that day, Artie can't stop
thinking about Sid. Why has the death of a vagrant spooked him so
much? It's not his case, but the more he digs, the more it drags him
in, implicating - and threatening - his closest friends...
