Synopsis

Detective Jericho's former NYPD Homicide partner, Mickey "Mouse'" Davis, is found dead in his car —killed by a single gunshot to the mouth. The handwritten suicide note beside him points to suicide, but Jericho has his doubts.

Against the orders of the New York cops, Jericho leaves sleepy East Hampton and returns to the city to investigate alone.

As Sam Spade says in The Maltese Falcon, "When a man's partner is killed, he's supposed to do something about it."

"While firmly rooted within the detective genre, Marks's novel offers an original premise, distinctive characters, and a memorable atmosphere…convincing characters with a level of psychological complexity." ~ Book Life Prize
