Synopsis
Winner of the Shamus Award. Nominated for the Edgar, Macavity, and Barry awards.
"Reed Farrel Coleman is a terrific writer . . . a hard-boiled poet. . . . If life were fair, Coleman would be as celebrated as [George] Pelecanos and [Michael] Connelly."?Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air
Ex-NYPD cop turned PI and entrepreneur Moe Prager is faced with a gut-wrenching case. The apparent suicide of his old friend and NYPD chief of detectives Larry McDonald forces Moe back onto the decaying Coney Island streets he patrolled when he was in uniform. But now, beneath the boardwalk and behind the rusted and crumbling rides of the midway, he finds a trail of death, betrayal, and corruption reaching back to 1972.
This new edition features:
- New foreword by best-selling crime writer Craig Johnson (Junkyard Dogs)
- New afterword by Reed Farrel Coleman
