Meet Fritz Malone, New York's sharpest PI – an outsider with an insider's nose for City Hall politics, and a man who knows the rules just well enough to work around them.
It all begins on a perfect Manhattan morning. A gunman's bullets shatter the festival atmosphere of the world-famous Thanksgiving Day parade. Only one man in the throng sees it happening – thankfully for the unsuspecting crowd gathered for the parade, he's the right man for the job.
Fritz Malone leaps into action; but it's only after he has risked his life and ruined his holiday that he discovers how bad things are. He's been around enough to know the standard procedure, and this sure ain't it. Without warning he has wandered into an insidious game involving cold-hearted criminals, crooked cops, and a long buried secret that implicates the city's most powerful players. The only way out is to put himself on the case and to dive into a world thick with danger and possibilities too horrible to ponder.
Brilliantly evoking New York with a thrilling plot full of pace, intensity and guile, and a hero who is as witty as he is gritty and as wry as he is resourceful, 'Speak of the Devil' is destined to become an instant classic and to captivate readers around the world.
