(The third book in the Lt. Joe Dante series)A novel by Christopher Newman
DISCOVER A MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING, EDGAR-NOMINATED CRIME THRILLER SERIES FROM CHRISTOPHER NEWMAN.
New York never sleeps — but tonight, on the thirty-ninth floor of a major fashion house, someone’s sleeping forever.
Designer Peter Buckley lies half-dressed in a pool of his own blood, his skull caved in. His studio’s been torn apart. Cabinets ripped open, patterns stripped from the racks.
No sign of forced entry. Whoever walked in had a key . . . and knew exactly what they came for.
Detective Joe Dante’s head has barely hit his pillow when the Deputy Chief calls him in. One look at the body and he knows this case is going to be trouble.
To make a bad week worse, Dante’s ex partner, Rosa, is fronting every press conference on the arm of Captain Bob Talbot — a careerist whispering in the commissioner’s ear that Dante’s the wrong man for the job.
And the killer isn’t finished yet.
As the bodies pile up, Dante must navigate a deadly conspiracy that runs deeper than the rag trade . . . before another body hits the slab.
This action-packed, full throttle crime thriller is perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Blake Banner, James Patterson, Robert Enright, Rob Sinclair, Lee Child and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

MEET JOE DANTE
Joe Dante has spent years working deep undercover in Narcotics, living among the city’s worst and doing whatever it takes to bring them down. But when a high-stakes sting operation blows apart, he’s pushed to the edge. He's burned out and ready to quit, but the Tenth Precinct needs him. Dante is dragged once more into New York’s underworld — where he must walk the line between cop and criminal to survive.
THE SETTING
On Manhattan’s West Side, New York pulses with the restless energy of the 1980s — a city of neon lights, late-night traffic, aging warehouses and shadowed backstreets where the city’s underworld goes about its business. It’s a place of sharp contrasts with glamour and grit side by side. And every block hides another story.
Genre: Mystery
