Hardboiled crime writer Will Ford might be critically acclaimed, but he's every bit as debauched and disreputable as the ne'er-do-well private eye in his novels. So when Ford offers Raymond Ambler - crime-fiction curator at New York City's prestigious 42nd Street Library - a collection of his papers, Ambler wonders if the project will be more trouble than it's worth.\r\n\r\n Still, the disgraced author is an important talent, and Ambler's never been afraid of a fight.   Ambler's ready for the controversy that greets news of the acquisition. He's not ready, however, for what he finds when he finally receives the papers: a gripping unpublished short story apparently based on a real case, with an explosive author's note.\r\n\r\n If it's true, there's been a shocking coverup at the heart of the NYPD - and a cop has got away with murder.   If it's true. Ford's not talking, and Ambler's good friend Mike Cosgrove, a veteran NYPD homicide detective, is beyond skeptical.\r\n\r\n But as the pair investigate, they're drawn into the sordid underbelly of 1990s New York, packed with renegade cops, thugs and mobsters . . .\r\n\r\n and they'll be lucky to come back out alive.   Gritty and fast-paced, this story of police corruption, murder and mayhem  is a great choice for fans of traditional mysteries with complex plotting, atmospheric settings and red herrings a plenty!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
