Synopsis

Three years ago, a child's death sent one innocent man to prison and blew open a vortex of corruption at the heart of Manhattan's lucrative construction industry. Joe Cole was that innocent man. A former Buildings Department inspector, the ex-con now lives a broken life, cut off from his wife and daughter and from the city he loves. But a woman's murder and the death of a young man rip open old wounds—plunging Joe and his former partner, a beautiful, hard-charging investigator, into the darkest corners of the city and into a desperate race to expose the secrets that help the powerful hide their crimes.

Goodreads review by Jackie

S.J. Rozan is an amazing author... in every book she writes, usually in the first chapter or two, is a grabber description that is so evocative and transfixing that I become committed to reading the entire book, even if it doesn't interest me that much. This book is no exception. I read Rozan's book......more

Goodreads review by Ronald

A fast-paced mystery/thriller with complex, multi-faceted schemes at play.

Goodreads review by Mary

Complex plot. I liked the story focus shift to Harlem but the heroine was deeply flawed so less compelling that her other detectives. And does NYC really have a DOI department to uncover corruption? You could have fooled me. I ned to che3ck into that.......more

Goodreads review by Susan

Took about a third of the book to figure out who was who, and to understand what was going on. After that not a bad story. I’ve never read about so many confused(ing)characters, the twisted plot lines. But it is confusing and well written. And then it is over. Enjoy.......more

Quotes

“The novel is a murder mystery, make no mistake, but it also may be the most Manhattan-centric entertainment to come our way since Woody Allen switched his cameras to London.” Los Angeles Times

“This is a New York story, steeped in political intrigue, ripe with descriptions of the city and its history. The payoff will be particularly rewarding for readers interested in big machines, both the kind that move earth and those behind political parties.” Publishers Weekly

“Rozan spins a web of seemingly interconnected characters and events, then gradually untangles them…From the mean streets of Harlem to the chilly corridors of City Hall, Rozan vividly evokes New York City in all its sound and fury.” Booklist
