great suspense
From Peter Spiegelman, author of the award-winning Black
Maps (“A stunner, a great debut roaring out of the gate”—
Newsday), a relentlessly exciting, masterfully
written new thriller featuring New York City private
investigator John March. This time March has been hired to find missing Wall Street
analyst Gregory Danes. Once ubiquitous on television,
Danes’s star went into steep decline along with the stock
market: now he’s best known for his volatile temper and his
obsession with restoring his tattered reputation. His ex-wife, a fashionable painter, wants to know why the
alimony checks have stopped arriving. But what appears to
be a straightforward missing persons case quickly becomes
something much more deadly. March unearths a rat’s nest of
family strife, business betrayals, and deceptions, and
finds that Danes left a long line of enemies in his
troubled wake—some of whom are also hunting for the missing
man. March’s investigation now takes on a terrifying urgency as
it leads him through the corrupt corridors of white-collar
crime and the underworld of the Russian mob, and into the
more intricate maze of the human heart.
