A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

THE STREETS Detective Joe Dante lives in a downtown loft and hangs with an uptown crowd. A cop who doesn't act, talk, or play like other cops, Dante's got Brooklyn-bred street smarts and a half-finished Ph.D. dissertation on his bookshelf. But when a man is struck down by a car outside a posh Manhattan hotel, Dante is plunged into a world like no other he's ever seen. THE SINS The victim was a corporate executive. The killer was a hit-and-run driver. And when Dante and his team investigate the accident, they find a billion-dollar stock-market deal and the tracks of a Wall Street financier gone missing from his Sutton Place co-op. THE STRIKE Now Dante is putting together the jagged pieces of a puzzle of sex, money, ambition, and high-tech fraud. It's a hunt that will take him from the pinnacle of high finance to Manhattan's meanest streets. Because Detective Joe Dante is chasing a man who has a thirty-eight-million-dollar motive for murder—multiple murder—and the cunning to get away with it all... Praise for Christopher Newman “NEWMAN WRITES CRISP, LEAN, ACTION-FILLED BOOKS WHICH UNFAILINGLY WHIRL THE READER ALONG TOWARD THEIR TAKE-NO-PRISONERS CONCLUSIONS.” —Peter Straub

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.
