In this exhilarating New York noir, Assistant District Attorney Sam Monroe, a Korean War veteran, quickly becomes the prime suspect in the murder of socialite Laura Neilson and is forced to risk his career and reputation to find the killer before the world comes crashing down around him. As Sam uncovers information about the men in Laura’s life, he suffers a series of attacks from rogue cops and is targeted for elimination by members of a well-known Mafia crime family. Forced to operate in the shadows, Sam becomes entangled with private investigator Deborah Jean Ryan, who offers to help for reasons she refuses to disclose.

Set in the vibrant, brilliantly evoked world of New York City in the mid-1950s, Night in the City is crime fiction at its best.
