A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In a posh Manhattan hotel, the brilliant chief executive of a multimillion dollar electronics corporation has been murdered—shot in the head, execution style—along with his stunning mistress. Was the motive jealous rage, or the ultimate corporate raid? A ruthless IRA terrorist is loose on the streets of New York City. Joe Dante has already met him once, and let him get away—with murder. It almost cost Dante his badge... But when Dante catches up, it's going to cost the killer more. A lot more. To corner his quarry, Dante's got to go deep undercover—and deep into the crime-infested New York underworld ruled by the merciless Irish mob, the Westies. With the mob and the terrorists calling the shots, Dante's got to live by their rules... or die by them.

Biographie de l'auteur

Born in San Francisco, California, Christopher Newman wrote the first draft of his third published novel, Manana Man, while in residence in Cali, Colombia his senior year in college. At 27, he moved to New York City, working as a trim carpenter for five years in Manhattan before publishing his first Joe Dante novel, Mid-Town South, in 1985. When that title met with considerable commercial success, his publisher convinced him to turn his protagonist into a series character. Eight more Joe Dante novels followed, all making various national best seller lists. Mid-Town North, published in 1991, was nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award by the Mystery Writers of America.
