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. 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 He's not ready, however, for what he finds when he finally receives the papers: a gripping unpublished short story apparently based on a real case, with an explosive author's note. 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. But as the pair investigate, they're drawn into the sordid underbelly of 1990s New York, packed with renegade cops, thugs and mobsters . . . and they'll be lucky to come back out alive."-- $b Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Ambler, Raymond $c (Fictitious character) $x Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Libraries $x Fiction. 941 $a 6 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231107010328.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031814.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230302010746.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011335.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230203010302.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20221201010152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D3EB7CAA714511EDA77CC7A444ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
