Title: Manhattan Nocturne
Description: U.S.A. Crown. 1996, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0517584921). Hardcover, 8vo - over 7¾. Book, Porter Wren, a tabloid columnist specializing in the human face of death, has climbed to success in part by subverting a real talent for exposing corruption in the city. He has two precious kids, and is married to one of New York's best surgeons, but none of that seems to matter when beautiful Caroline Crowley approaches him at a party. He finds her mesmerizing and the story she tells of her husband, an acclaimed filmmaker whose body turned up in a building being demolished and whose murder remains unsolved, fascinating. Porter wants more of the story and of her; the next day she takes him to bed, then opens a trunk of tapes her husband left behind, videos that are clandestine scenes of real life and death. But the enigmatic Caroline wants more than Porter's help. She knows he can't refuse. He's already crossed the line--and on the run in an escalating nightmare of blackmail, deception, and sexual obsession. For Porter, the only way out is murder--if the truth doesn't kill him first. A movie version retitled Manhattan Night was filmed in New York in 2014, directed by Brian DeCubellis and starring Adrien Brody, and Jennifer Beals. As New/As New. Signed by Author(s).
