Saints of New York

R.J. Ellory

AUTHOR TOUR!

The death of a young heroin dealer occasions no great concern for New York PD Detective Frank Parrish, but when the dealer's teenage sister winds up dead, questions are raised that have no clear answers. Parrish, already under investigation by Internal Affairs for repeatedly challenging his superiors, is committed to daily interviews with a Police Department counsellor. As the homicides continue - and a disturbing pattern emerges - Frank tries desperately to make some sense of the deaths, while battling with his own demons.

Trying to live up to the reputation of his father, John - not only a legendary NYPD Detective, but also one of the original 'Saints of New York', the crew who worked hand-in-glove with the authorities to rid New York of the final vestiges of Mafia control in the 1980s - Parrish struggles to come to terms with the broken pieces of his own life. But, as the murder rate escalates, he must discover the truth behind them before there are further innocent victims.
