About this product

Product Information

The death of a young heroin dealer causes no great concern for NYPD Detective Frank Parrish--Danny Lange is just another casualty of the drug war. But when Danny's teenage sister winds up dead, questions are raised that have no clear answers. As the homicides continue--and a disturbing pattern emerges--Frank tries desperately to make some sense of the deaths, while battling with his own demons. Trying to live up to the reputation of his father, John--not only a legendary NYPD detective, but also one of the original "Saints of New York"--the men charged with the responsibility of ridding New York of the final vestiges of Mafia control in the 1980s--Parrish struggles to come to terms with the broken pieces of his own life. But, as the murders escalate, he must discover the truth behind them before there are further innocent victims. Dark and intense, Saints of New York is a novel of corruption and redemption, of the relentless persistence required to find the truth, and of one man's search for meaning amidst the ghosts of his own conscience.

Reviews
Praise for A Quiet Belief in Angels: "There aren't nearly enough beautifully written novels that are also great mysteries. Like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Smilla's Sense of Snow , A Quiet Belief in Angels is one of them." -James Patterson " A Quiet Belief In Angels is a beautiful and haunting book. This is a tour de force from R.J. Ellory." -Michael Connelly "R.J. Ellory is a uniquely gifted, passionate, and powerful writer, and the quality of his prose-every word, every sentence-lifts A Quiet Belief in Angels far above its genre." -Alan Furst "A rich, powerful, evocative novel of great psychological depth." -Jonathan Kellerman "What a discovery! I read A Quiet Belief in Angels breathlessy, as this is one of those rare authors who is able to combine a poetic literary style with a stunning mystery story. R.J. Ellory will quickly rank with the best crime writers working today." -Otto Penzler "R.J. Ellory's remarkable talent for probing the unknown establishes him as the master of the genre. The perfect author to read late into the night." -CLive Cussler , "There aren't nearly enough beautifully written novels that are also great mysteries.

The perfect author to read late into the night." ‹Clive Cussler ³R.J. Ellory will quickly rank with the best crime writers working today." ‹Otto Penzler Praise for The Saints of New York ³Ellory can write. His prose is spare, telegraphic and lyrical. The dialogue is sharp and convincing... The climax is masterful, a chaotic collision of the planned and the unforeseen which illustrates just how well Ellory is in charge of his characters and his plot. Saints of New York just couldn't be better.² Sydney Morning Herald ²Dark and intense, Saints of New York opens, quite literally, with a blood bath, and from there you are in the master's hands and he's not letting go until that last satisfying page is turned.² --Crimesquad ³It's a suspenseful and interesting tale, beautifully written in an all-American style. It was a surprise to learn that the author is actually British; but so, of course, was Raymond Chandler.² -- Literary Review, "R.J. Ellory is a uniquely gifted, passionate, and powerful writer.² ‹Alan Furst ³R.J. Ellory's remarkable talent for probing the unknown establishes him as the master of the genre.
