Its New Years Eve, 1976, and New York is a city on the edge. As midnight approaches, a blizzard sets in and the sound of two gunshots rings out across Central Park. The search for the shooter will bring together a rich cast of New Yorkers. With rights sold in more than 16 territories, this sensational novel invites comparisons with the work of Don DeLillo and Jonathan Franzen.
