New York's Alphabet City is a magnet for desperate hustlers, con men, and last-chance addicts. Payton Sherwood knows that scene. But Payton also lives by a white-knight creed derived from the heroes of golden age detective fiction. And like those renowned hardboiled private eyes, he is riddled with loss-the loss of an old love who still exists in daydreams, and the loss of a city he barely recognizes. Payton takes a wrong turn on a side street and stumbles into trouble in the form of three bull-necked heavies and a tough sixteen-year-old runaway named Gloria Manlow. After taking a savage beating, he tracks Gloria through Alphabet City, where the shadows that frighten aren't those that shade the street, but rather the soul. Payton's dusk-to-dawn nightmare on the wild side is about to begin-and nothing will stop it but death. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Thereafter, the noir novel leads the reader to Sherwood's attempt to find the girl and his watch and to find the reason that the men wanted to beat her.
I found the story to be unoriginal and wondered why Payton continued on his hunt for answers even after he found his watch.
He runs into one bad situation after another and wasn't even being paid for his efforts.
I did like the author's descriptions of New York city, of the homeless and the street parks. ( )
