Críticas

PRAISE FOR TABLOID CITY

"Murder and mayhem...a ticking time bomb of a novel."--Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times

"Engrossing...A gritty tone-poem in prose on New York City life--and death."--Alan Cheuse, San Francisco Chronicle

"This is the veteran journalist at his best....Tabloid City stands as both an authentic thriller as well as a farewell to the city that was Hamill's New York."--Sheryl Connelly, New York Daily News

Reseña del editor

In a stately West Village town house, a wealthy socialite and her secretary are murdered. In the 24 hours that follow, a flurry of activity surrounds their shocking deaths:

The head of one of the city's last tabloids stops the presses. A cop investigates the killing. A reporter chases the story. A disgraced hedge fund manager flees the country. An Iraq War vet seeks revenge. And an angry young extremist plots a major catastrophe.

The City is many things: a proving ground, a decadent carnival, or a palimpsest of memories--a historic metropolis eclipsed by modern times. As much a thriller as it is a gripping portrait of the city of today, Tabloid City is a new fiction classic from the writer who has captured New York perfectly for decades.
