From the acclaimed noir novelist Jason Starr comes this
savage portrait of a misanthropic man stuck in a New York
nightmare. Written in caustic, streamlined prose,
Twisted City is a chilling depiction of how quickly
one's life can take a turn for the worst.
Times are
tough for David Miller, a journalist for a second-rate
financial magazine who hates his boss, is tired of
supporting his girlfriend's partying lifestyle, and
recently lost his sister to cancer. But things are about
to get much worse. When he loses his wallet in a midtown
bar, he is launched into a world where he finds himself
being blackmailed by junkies, lying to his friends and
family, and stumbling into a crime that may cost him his
life.
