Synopsis

A murder in New York's diamond district. A dead Chinese girl with a photograph in her pocket. A plastic bag of irradiated heroin on the mantelpiece in an empty apartment. A millennial fire in a sweatshop in the city's swarming Chinatown. The worst blizzard in New York history. These are the events that conspire to bring ex-cop Artie Cohen out of retirement and back into the obsessive world of murder and politics that nearly killed him in Red Mercury Blues. Hot Poppies is another superbly crafted Artie Cohen thriller, full of crackling dialogue and incorporating all the usual ingredients of corruption, drugs and sex.

About this title

Review:

"Praise for Reggie Nadelson:
'A writer who could easily inherit Cornwell's vacant crown.'" (Daily Express)

"Hot Poppies
'A fast-moving tale, full of crackling dialogue, incorporating all the usual ingredients of corruption, drugs and sex. Nadelson is a skilled plotter and has passed the second novel test with distinction.'" (The Times)

"If Raymond Chandler were still alive and watching CNN, he would probably write thrillers like this.'" (Sunday Express)

"There are a number of storylines in Hot Poppies, Nadelson manages the meshing of all these different strands brilliantly, leading to a beautifully satisfying ending." (Guardian)
