A lifelong New Yorker, Rachel Alexander has seen her city
change shape through the years. But while New York has never
been cleaner and crime is rapidly in decline, a vestige of
grittier days remains. When wealthy business owner Eleanor
Redstone approaches Rachel to ask if she can investigate her
father's murder--a brutal slaying that occurred when he was
pushed onto the subway tracks--Rachel takes the case,
plunging herself into parts of the city only its poorest
residents have ever known. Because to solve Gardner
Redstone's murder, Rachel must disguise herself as a
homeless woman and live on the streets, searching for the
dispossessed man witnesses say made the fatal push. In one
of the coldest winters New York City has seen in years,
Rachel is helped by a homeless Iraq War veteran, a man whose
sad circumstances leave Rachel pondering her own fortunate
life. This is a once-in-a-lifetime case that, before it's
over, will engulf Rachel in a dangerous new world and change
the way that she sees her city forever.
