Description
New York is a state where
mystery and secrets thrive. A state of chaos. A state of confusion. And above
all, a state of crime. No matter what the time period, or the venue—the world
of high tech, the media, tourism, or the arts—criminals have infiltrated every
aspect of New York life. But what these ne’er-do-wells soon learn is that New
Yorkers are smart and resilient. Some count on their wits, others their
computer skills, and still others their physical strength, but when risk
arises, New Yorkers fight back. Hard.
In this anthology,
authored by acclaimed Sisters in Crime NY/Tri-State authors, you’ll realize
just how hard. You’ll learn how computer hacking can kill more than just a
business, sense the sweet scent of death in Old New York, and discover how an
Internet chef parlayed a chopped liver debacle into big bucks and even bigger
danger. You’ll tag along on city tours that rat out Manhattan, witness a radio
broadcaster’s afternoon break turn deadly, and gasp as a psychologist with
questionable ethics gets what’s coming to him. In these pages, a death at the
Ziegfeld Theater is clearly not folly, and some hitchhikers want more than just
a ride. Busybodies, whether fighting neighborhood crime or interruptions at
Carnegie Hall, uncover plots devious and perverse; an actress suffers something
far worse than bad reviews, and DNA testing leads to family trees ridden with
gnarled limbs. Whether they’re trying to shake an ex-lover, a fall from grace,
or an infamous former life and reputation, these characters find their lives
taking unexpected turns. Meet the tarot reader who finds solving crimes in the
cards, the police officer who finds himself in a pickle, the single woman whose
hike turns into a date with death, the detective with a cheesy assignment, and
the novelist who takes extraordinary steps to protect her royalties.
Included are stories by
such acclaimed authors as Nancy Bilyeau, Susan Breen, Paula Bernstein, D.M.
Barr, Joseph R.G. De Marco, Susan Egan, Nancy Good, Nikki Knight, Nina
Mansfield, Adam Meyer, Karen Odden, Rebecca Olmstead, Ellen Quint, Michele
Bazan Reed, Lori Robbins, Catherine Siemann, Triss Stein, Cathi Stoler, Izolda
Trakhtenberg, and Nina Wachsman.
On every page, these authors have created tales of New Yorkers who take on unspeakable challenges. Your challenge will be to stop reading before night turns to day.
