Description

First U.S. print edition for this winner of Germany's Bochumer Krimi Preis for Best International Crime Novel. Jerry Oster's noir thrillers are "an urbane, witty update on the hard-boiled detective novel." -Women's Wear Daily. Meet Jerry Oster's most engaging, off-beat, reluctant hero yet, reporter Tom Gillette, in the first-ever English language print edition of this masterful international prize-winning mystery novel. When a local business man takes a tumble from a roof, the question of "did he fall or was he pushed?" becomes all-consuming for Gillette, a movie buff with a nose for news, an eye for beautiful women, and an unerring instinct for trouble. Gillette's search for the truth entangles him with Sharon Douglas, who the business man was visiting at the time of his fall, Sally Holt, an ambitious financial journalist on the way up, a homeless man named John Doe, comely police sergeant Lee Monday, and a host of other intriguing characters. But, as Gillette untangles the motive behind the murder and gets closer to unmasking the killer's identity, what he discovers makes him wonder if he really wants to know the truth after all. Find out why The Chicago Sun-Times hails Oster for his "colorful characters," Kirkus for "hip, evocative, bravura dialogue," and Rex Reed for "force, maturity - wisdom - and fresh insights." " Superb work... realistic ... the characters are fleshed out with conviction ...brilliant ..." New York Times Jerry Oster is a former investigative reporter for United Press International, Reuters, and the New York Daily News. He is the author of 18 crime novels, including the Jake Newman mysteries, and lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
