IN NEW YORK, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM NO ONE ELSE CAN SOLVE, YOU CALL LEONID McGILL
Ex-boxer, hard drinker, in a business that trades in cash and favours, McGill’s an old-school P.I. working a city that’s got fancy all around him.
When McGill is approached by a small-time office manager to track down his long lost cousin, he declines the case. He can almost smell the desperation on the man. But then McGill’s office is broken into, and his potential client is found dead. Soon, McGill finds himself drawn into the underbelly of an establishment family, and a Pandora’s box of secrets and lies.
Taking you from the moneyed haunts of Uptown to the shady streets of Downtown, Mosley is the Chandler of Obama’s America, and one of the finest crime writers in the world.
