Buried on Avenue B - A Novel

Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as an "utterly irresistible heroine," Darlene O''Hara--the brilliant, hard-living, obsessive, and somewhat self-destructive detective introduced in Peter de Jonge''s acclaimed crime fiction masterwork Shadows Still Remain --returns in Buried on Avenue B . An edgy and suspenseful noir thriller, Buried on Avenue B traverses the gritty landscape of New York''s Lower East Side and the more sordid corners of Sarasota, Florida, as a gruesome and unexpected discovery in a makeshift Alphabet City grave heats up a 17-year-old cold case. James Patterson calls Darlene O''Hara "one of the freshest, hippest detective creations in many a year," and the New York Times has described Peter de Jonge''s writing as "in the noirish, character-driven vein of Dennis Lehane or Michael Connelly." For fans of serious crime fiction, Peter de Jonge is a must-read, and Detective Darlene O''Hara is cop to be reckoned with.
