- Synopsis
- A drug dealer turned informant navigates New York&’s underworld in a tale that &“maintains tension&” from an Edgar Award finalist (The New York Times Book Review). A twenty-nine-year-old Italian immigrant, Tony Farrell has all the trappings of success: custom threads, an imported roadster, an apartment in an elegant duplex on Manhattan&’s Upper East Side, and a devoted girlfriend and business partner, Liz, who thinks she&’s nabbed her own Al Pacino. On the downside, their little First Avenue bistro, Anthony&’s, is in the red . . . until Tony agrees to pay his debts to a Mob loan shark the only way he can—turning his beloved restaurant into a hot spot for the drug trade. It&’s a move that will lead to Tony&’s undoing. Busted by undercover cops, Tony&’s only hope is to become an informant for an FBI task force. The plan is to help them catch a powerful Haitian drug lord known as the Giant, who&’s importing raw coke from South America via American cruise lines. But this fresh new nightmare won&’t consume just Tony; it&’s about to trap everyone he knows—lovers and enemies. And making it out alive isn&’t going to be easy because, when the world gets this dark, it&’s impossible to know who to trust or where to run. Edward Keyes&’s true-crime book The Michigan Murders was named an Edgar Award finalist. In Double Dare, he presents the gripping tale of a man caught between the Mafia and law enforcement in a novel praised by Robin Moore, author of The French Connection, as &“the most suspenseful, fast-moving police story of its genre [he&’s] ever read.&”
