It's 1983 and Reaganomics is in full swing. But beneath the facade of junk bonds and easy money, New York remains a gritty metropolis offering Nirvana with one hand and desolation with the other. Moe Prager, ex-NYPD cop turned reluctant PI is too busy reeling from a family tragedy to see what's coming. The disappearance of Moira Heaton two years earlier keeps returning to haunt her previous boss, state senator Steven Brightman, who, in turn, enlists Moe's help to clear his name once and for all. This is a truly absorbig page-turner.
