About this item

By the author of A Quiet Belief in Angels, praised by Michael Connelly as "a beautiful and haunting book," Saints of New York is a powerful new crime novel. The death of a young heroin dealer causes no great concern for NYPD Detective Frank Parrish -- Danny Lange is just another casualty of the drug war. But when Danny's teenage sister winds up dead, questions are raised that have no clear answers. As the homicides continue -- and a disturbing pattern emerges -- Frank tries desperately to make some sense of the deaths, while battling with his own demons. Trying to live up to the reputation of his father, John -- not only a legendary NYPD detective, but also one of the original "Saints of New York" -- the men charged with the responsibility of ridding New York of the final vestiges of Mafia control in the 1980s -- Parrish struggles to come to terms with the broken pieces of his own life.
