Description:

**Nominated for the Edgar and Shamus awards.** "A flair for language, quick wit, and detail complete a winning first novel."—*Library Journal* "Don Winslow's Neal Carey [series is] hands down one of my favorite series and it should be a must-read for every mystery fan. I'm envious of everyone who will have the opportunity to read these books for the first time, and thrilled to revisit them myself."—Jon Jordan, *CrimeSpree Magazine* Carey is not your usual private eye. A graduate student at Columbia University, he grew up on the streets of New York, usually on the wrong side of the law. Then he met Joe Graham, a one-armed PI who introduced him to the Bank, an exclusive New England institution with a sideline in keeping its wealthy clients happy and out of trouble. The Bank wants Neal to put his skills to work in finding Allie Chase, the rebellious teenage daughter of a prominent senator, an assignment that takes Neal to London's underground punk scene, a violent netherworld where drugs run rampant and rage is the name of the game. **Don Winslow** is the author of twelve novels, including *The Power of the Dog*, *The Dawn Patrol*, and *Savages* (Simon & Schuster, 2010). His novel *California Fire and Life* received the Shamus Award. The film rights to his novel *The Winter of Frankie Machine* have been sold, with Robert DeNiro slated to play the lead role. He's a grad student in the Ivy League. He's also a private investigator trying to find a runaway teen. Now, he's in over his head. Up against punk junkies, antique book thieves, and murderous betrayal, Neal Carey has his work cut out for him to save Allie--and get back above ground for good. Martin's Press.
