Product Description
Judge Joe Crater’s disappearance in 1930 spawned countless conspiracy theories and captured the imagination of a nation caught in the grip of The Depression. Fifteen years later, Fintan Dunne, the detective encountered in Quinn’s novel Hour of the Cat, recently retired and bored, answers a summons to New York where he is asked to solve the old case for a newspaper magnate interested in making a profit.
Dunne confronts haphazard investigating, aggrieved participants, and a grieving spouse as he travels from New York to Los Angeles and Havana, wading through decades-old clues in an attempt to solve the mystery still baffling America. Peter Quinn once again has written a compelling blend of history and fiction that is simply unputdownable.
PETER QUINN has worked as a speechwriter for two New York governors, and as the editorial director for Time Warner. He currently contributes regularly to Irish America and Commonweal. He is a third generation New Yorker whose grandparents were born in Ireland.
