Night Life Audiobook

Quotes

• “A hair-raising, heart-stopping bullet train of a novel with action and atmosphere to burn.”

  — Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author

• “Smart, capable, honest, and all cop NYPD detective Michael Cassidy is a cross between Jack Reacher and Philip Marlowe, only tougher.”

  — Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author

• “The suspense mounts with the body count. Readers will want to see more of the distinctive Cassidy, whose wealthy background as the son of a Broadway producer puts him at odds with his fellow cops.”

  — Publishers Weekly

• “It’s hard to beat postwar New York for noir atmosphere with a touch of glamour behind the menace. Cigarettes, booze, lots of neon, jazz on 52nd Street, celebs at Toots Shor’s, a spy or two, dead bodies turning up between drinks: even if you don’t fancy living there (but why not?), at least you want to read about it…Taylor unspools the plot reel by reel, and if there’s a little predictability to it, we don’t really mind. This one’s all about mood, and Taylor brings it.”

  — Booklist

• “This debut novel’s atmosphere is suffused with paranoia and bitterness. With a strong opening and definite sense of place, Taylor has much to offer as a writer.”

  — Library Journal

• “Mixing fictional and reality-based characters (J. Edgar Hoover makes an appearance), and providing a wealth of period detail, Taylor works in what has become time-honored fashion since Ragtime. But he works exceptionally well within that convention and that of noir fiction, illuminating his characters and the times they’re living through in a lively, light-on-its-feet, agreeably no-nonsense fashion. Taylor, a seasoned writer for TV and film, makes a strong debut with the first in a series of novels featuring a hard-edged but properly vulnerable detective.”
