From the Publisher:
'A smart entertaining novel' -- Washington Post
'A vastly entertaining thriller' -- Elle
'Charged with sex, technology and veiled threats pungently fulfilled ... Harrison brings an analogue sensibility to this digital world' -- The Times
'Wall Street cojoining with Fatal Attraction makes for one of the best thrillers of this or any year' -- Daily Post
TIME OUT: 'The success of Harrison's third novel is attributable to its wealth of three-dimensional characters, especially the hero, newspaper columnist Porter Wren ... Harrison's first-person narrative is written from teh gut, his story voyeuristically erotic and disturbing. Definitely recommended, this superbly executed novel has the appeal of the darkest thriller and the clockwork mechanism of the finest whodunnit.'
COSMOPOLITAN: 'Harrison's darkly scintillating psychological drama has already been compared to Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities for the panoramic sweep of its portrayal of Manhattan life, and it certainly has everything Wolfe's novel has, and more: an intricate plot, sharply drawn characters, vivid low-life scenes and, in Porter Wren, an intelligent, sexy and basically decent hero. Make this a must for any thriller addict.'

Make this a must for any thriller addict.'
THE NEW YORK TIMES: 'A literary portrait of a soul divided ... The same narrative that impresses us with its top-to-bottom knowledge of New York City fauna is also illuminating about the quiet acts of omission that irrevocably damage a marriage ... Manhattan Nocturne soars.'
