About the Book

A mysterious cult is pushing a designer drug, and only Moodrow can shut the deadly organization down Though they preach love and understanding, the people of Hanover House also know a thing or two about strong-arm tactics. When an errant member of the Canal Street cult plans to write a tell-all book exposing Davis Craddock's pseudo-religion as a sham, the Hanoverians react calmly. One of the cult's members, Flo Alamare, is dispatched to let the would-be author know that he's welcome to write whatever he likes--so long as he doesn't care whether his daughter lives or dies. Soon Flo is found dumped in an empty lot in the Bronx. She's barely alive, having apparently suffered a stroke or seizure--and the doctors don't realize that she overdosed on a powerful drug of Craddock's own design. She's returned to her parents, who had been desperately searching for her. The tough-minded Alamares want revenge, and hire bruising PI Stanley Moodrow to catch Craddock and break his cult wide open.

About the Author :
Stephen Solomita (b. 1943) is an American author of thrillers. Born in Bayside, Queens, he worked as a cab driver before becoming a novelist in the late 1980's. His first novel, A Twist of the Knife (1988) won acclaim for its author's intimate knowledge of New York's rough patches, and for a hardboiled style that raised a gritty look at urban terrorism above the level of a typical thriller. Solomita wrote six more novels starring the disaffected NYPD cop Stanley Moodrow, concluding the series with Damaged Goods (1996). Solomita continued writing in the same hardboiled style, producing tough, standalone novels like Mercy Killing (2009) and Angel Face (2011). Under the pseudonym David Cray, he writes gentler thrillers such as Dead Is Forever (2004), a traditional mystery in the mode of Ellery Queen. His most recent novel is Dancer In The Flames (2012). He continues to live and write in New York City.

Review :
"Mr. Solomita's salt-of-the-cement hero, Stanley Moodrow, can find his way around the city he loves and hates just by sniffing the air." --The New York Times "Solomita knows his city and his people, and he writes with both muscle and sensitivity." --Los Angeles Times "A keen observer of humanity." --Publishers Weekly
