<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Previously published as <i>Manhattan Nocturne</i> and now a major motion picture starring </b><b>Adrien Brody, Yvonne Strahovski, Campbell Scott, and Jennifer Beals</b> <p/>A<i> New York Times </i>Notable Book</b> <p/>Porter Wren is a Manhattan tabloid writer with an appetite for scandal. On the beat, he sells murder, tragedy, and anything that passes for truth. At home, he is a dedicated husband and father. But when a seductive stranger asks him to dig into the unsolved murder of her husband, he is drawn into a very nasty case of sexual obsession and blackmail--one that threatens his job, his marriage, and his life. <p/>Colin Harrison's <i>Manhattan Night </i>is a brilliantly drawn tableau of the gritty, gaudy city and a thrilling literary noir.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Mr. Harrison has produced a thriller that seems to want to be equal parts of Raymond Chandler, William Styron, and Tom Wolfe. . . . These corollary aspirations generate some of the greatest pleasures in Mr. Harrison's novel, so that the same narrative that impresses us with its top-to-bottom knowledge of New York City fauna is also illuminating about the quiet acts of omission that irrevocably damage a marriage." --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/>"You're trapped by page two. . . . This is the work of a powerful writer . . . with a powerful story." --<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>"A smart, entertaining novel." --<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"[Harrison] spares no detail of sex and violence, imbuing every phrase with a visceral punch and a sardonic tone. . . . Truly thrilling." --<i>Chicago Tribune</i> <p/>"A great, roaring story of power, lust, greed, and a very human folly that characterizes our preposterous millennium--told with compassion, intelligence, and striking human insight." --<i>Mary Gaitskill, author of Veronica</i> <p/>"A white-knuckle ride . . . With the narrative drive of a hurtling subway express, Harrison plunges readers into a scary subterranean world in which the only comfort comes from the neon flashes of his prose." --<i>People</i> <p/>"<i>Manhattan Nocturne</i> soars." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>COLIN HARRISON</b> is the author of several novels, including <i>The Finder</i>, <i> The Havana Room</i>, and <i>Afterburn</i>. He lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife, writer Kathryn Harrison, and their three children
