Publisher's Synopsis
The new Artie Cohen mystery. "Lesser thriller writers...waste pages reaching for the effects that Nadelson achieves in a couple of lines." DAILY MAIL "Superlative storytelling, with writing so good you hardly dare turn the page in case, between times, it goes off the boil. Rest assured it doesn't..." LITERARY REVIEW Winter 2003: War is looming and New York is paralysed by the worst blizzard in years. Artie Cohen, on the verge of making peace with his life, is called in to investigate a case - a pile of blood-soaked children's clothes has been found on the beach in Brooklyn. Almost against his will, Artie finds himself drawn into a case that involves the death of a child and the unaccountable disappearance of another, all against the background of a city already stricken by fear. In his increasingly obsessive search for the missing child, Artie finds himself in the remote coastal suburbs of Brooklyn, among the Russian community he thought he had left behind - and way out of his depth.
