Manhattan tabloid reported Porter Wren has an appetite for the city's dirtiest scandals. On the beat, he sells, murder, tragedy, and anything that passed for the truth. At home, he's happily married with two kids. Then one clandestine night, he risks everything he has on the seduction of a stranger...

Her name is Caroline Crowley, widowed by the unsolved murder of her late husband--a man with a nasty little hobby. Caroline has the vidoes to prove it. A ruthless billionaire who indulged in her husband's sordid games wants the evidence buried--along with anyone who has it.

But the enigmatic Caroline wants more than Porter's help. She knows he can't refuse. He's already crossed the line--and on the run in an escalating nightmare of blackmail, deception, and sexual obsession. For Porter, the only way out is murder--if the truth doesn't kill him first.

Review:
In this full-bore detective tale of scandal and mayhem in the Big Apple, Colin Harrison whips up noir for the 90s, complete with a jaded newspaperman protagonist, a mysterious femme fatale, exhaustive travelogues of the meat-grinder labyrinth of Manhattan, and an elusive jade figurine. Harrison weds a literary sensibility to this tangled tale, but the pleasures of the novel come mainly from the conventional elements of all detective fiction: the assembling of apparently disconnected pieces into a coherent puzzle.
