Northshire Bookstore Review(s)

Reviewed By... Sarah Knight

An entertaining dark tale set in 1950's New York. The parents of a missing Barnard student hire former drug addict, Josephine, to find their missing daughter. Joe scours the seamy side of New York searching for the young woman in this stylish noir novel.


Publisher Comments

From the author of Come Closer comes the most highly acclaimed-and unusual-thriller of the year. Josephine, a former addict, is offered a thousand dollars to find a suburban couple's missing daughter. But the search will take her into the dark underbelly of New York she thought she'd escaped-and a web of deceit that threatens to destroy her.

One of the meanest, grittiest hard-boiled crime stories ever written... (Associated Press)

[An] oddly elegiac tour of the good-old, bad-old days. (New York Times Book Review)

Triple-axel plot twists...nearly every page has surprises. (Los Angeles Times)

Nicely twisted. (Chicago Sun-Times)

[A] pitch-black mystery. (Washington Post)

Tight and polished and exquisitely crafted. (Robert B. Parker)

Totally shocking. (Times Picayune)

Sara Gran is a native of Brooklyn, New York, and a former bookseller.
