<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"New York City, 1954. Police officer Michael Cassidy is plagued by dreams that sometimes come true. When a Broadway chorus dancer is found tortured and killed in his apartment in Hell's Kitchen, Cassidy is assigned to the case. As the murder count grows, other groups begin to take notice. Soon the FBI, the CIA, and the Mafia are involved. Cassidy learns that the dancer may have possessed compromising photographs of someone very important-photographs that would give the owner unparalleled leverage in the corridors of power. But the case isn't the only puzzle Cassidy faces. He's dreaming of his own murder"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>*A 2016 Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel</b><br><b>*Winner of the 2016 Nero Wolfe Award for Best American Mystery</b> <p/>David C. Taylor's <i>Night Life</i> takes us back to New York City in 1954. <p/>The Cold War is heating up. Senator Joe McCarthy is running a witch hunt for Communists in America. The newly formed CIA is fighting a turf battle with the FBI to see who will be the primary US intelligence agency. And the bodies of murdered young men are turning up in the city. <p/>Michael Cassidy has an unusual background for a New York cop. His father, a refugee from Eastern Europe, is a successful Broadway producer. His godfather is Frank Costello, a Mafia boss. Cassidy also has an unusual way of going about the business of being a cop-maybe that's why he threw a fellow officer out a third story window of the Cortland Hotel. <p/>Cassidy is assigned to the case of Alexander Ingram, a Broadway chorus dancer found tortured and dead in his apartment in Hell's Kitchen. Complications grow as other young men are murdered one after the other. And why are the FBI, the CIA, and the Mafia interested in the death of a Broadway gypsy? <p/>Meanwhile, a mysterious, beautiful woman moves into Cassidy's building in Greenwich Village. Is Dylan McCue a lover or an enemy? Cassidy is plagued by nightmares-dreams that sometimes become reality. And he has been dreaming that someone is coming to kill him.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>DAVID C.
