reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he's too smart to be a cop, but it's pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of the night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out.
Suddently he is on the front page of every New York newspaper, and his life is hopelssly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country's hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman.
The pressures from the press are exceeded only by those from the NYPD brass and city hall. No matter where he turns, the case is waiting for him, haunting his nights and turning his days into a living hell. Stone Finds himself caught in a perilous web of unspeakable crimes, dangerous friends, and sexual depravity that has throughout it one common thread: Sasha.
A gritty, high-voltage novel, packed with interwoven story lines and suprising twists, NEW YORK DEAD draws you into its stunning tale of intricate suspense and leads to a heart-stopping climax you won't soon forget.
