Description
Part-time PI Nick Stefanos doesn't tail wives anymore. But when a childhood friend steps into Nick's bar after 15 years and asks for help locating his wife April, he feels obliged to do some digging.
After a visit to the small-time crime boss with whom April was supposedly having an affair, Nick realises there is far more to this story than a missing wife. There is missing money. Lots of it. And some very powerful enemies. . .Critic Reviews
“To miss out on Pelecanos would be criminal”
Perhaps the greatest living crime writer Stephen King
Barry Gifford
Pelecanos is incapable of writing a book that isn't gripping THE TIMES
As with all Pelecanos's best novels, an air of melancholy, guilt and regret pervades this rewarding tale BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH
