Reggie Nadelson's new Artie Cohen mystery begins when a jogger finds a kid's clothes drenched in blood & buried in the half frozen earth near Brighton Beach
- the coast of Brooklyn. It takes place in New York, a city of islands & rivers, bridges & tunnels. All of it is set between downtown Manhattan where Artie lives, an area still traumatized by the loss of the Twin towers, & coastal Brooklyn. Brighton Beach, all boardwalk, beach & Russians. Coney Island with its wrecked amusement park. Sheepshead Bay with its inlets & fishing boats. The plot concerns the killing of one child & the abduction of another, & the subsequent outbreak of fear. Fear is the real story here. The fear that explodes when two children are involved & still others seem to go missing. The way the city is still locked in the terror that's never gone away since 9/11. The constant presence of barricades & barriers & soldiers with AKs as part of the New York domestic landscape. It's also about Artie's relationship with the Russian community in Brooklyn, the way the story reels him back over & over, the way he can never really escape.
