About This Item
[London]: Orion, [2006]., 2006. First edition. First edition. Signed by the author. Fine in fine dust jacket. After seventeen years away from New York, John Harper, a reporter for the Miami Herald and one-time author, learns that the father he believed dead for more than thirty years is alive, though living in a deep coma in a Manhattan hospital. Harper desperately tries to uncover the truth about his own life and instead finds deception, betrayal, lies, and murder. This is the hardest Ellory book to find. Recommended.
Synopsis
John Harper has just made a discovery: the father he believed to be dead for more than thirty years is alive, though lying in a coma in a Manhattan hospital. Returning home to New York brings with it memories of childhood, many of them painful, and yet Harper could never have prepared himself for the truth. Confronted with the reality of his father's existence, Harper finds himself seduced by a lifestyle that he seems to have inherited--an underworld life of power, treachery, and menace. As he desperately tries to uncover the facts of his own past, he is faced with one lie after another, and with each new discovery he becomes more and more entangled in a dark and shocking conspiracy. From the acclaimed author of A Quiet Belief in Angels and A Simple Act of Violence , City of Lies is a tense and gripping thriller, each twist and turn more shocking than the last.
