Acerca deste libro electrónico
A "well-plotted" mystery about a PI and her canine partner's search for a murderer among NYC's homeless has "a strong sense of place and social conscience" ( Publishers Weekly).
Native New Yorker Rachel Alexander has seen a lot on the streets of Manhattan in her years as a private investigator. But when a client hires her to find a murderer among the city's homeless, Rachel uncovers a whole new layer. Disguised as a bag lady, her discerning pit bull Dash by her side, Rachel descends into the city's underbelly to find a deranged man that witnesses claim pushed prominent businessman Gardner Redstone on to the subway tracks. Instead, Rachel discovers the dark disparity between the city's wealthiest and its poorest—and that sometimes all that glitters is not necessarily gold.
The only thing certain is that someone did murder Redstone. But could that suspect possibly be found within his own well-heeled community? Donning a new cover, Rachel and Dash infiltrate New York City's elite society, determined to shatter some illusions about criminal behavior.
"Benjamin mixes an intriguing puzzle with a dollop of introspection." — Library Journal
