Nominee, 2016 Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award for Best Novel
New York City, 1954. Police officer Michael Cassidy is plagued by dreams that sometimes come true.
When a Broadway chorus dancer is found tortured and killed in an apartment in Hell's Kitchen, Cassidy is assigned to the case. As the murder count grows, other groups begin to take notice. Soon the FBI, the CIA, and the Mafia are involved.
Cassidy learns that the dancer may have possessed compromising photographs of someone very important—photographs that would give the owner unparalleled leverage in the corridors of power. But the case isn't the only puzzle Cassidy faces.
He's dreaming of his own murder . . .
