1999 Edgar Award finalist for Best Mystery Novel
Stansberry has done it again with this gut-wrenching tale of doomed lovers in San Francisco's North Beach. Noir heroes are always doomed. So it is for failed lawyer Niccolo Jones, who loved his brother's wife and lets that love fester as he watches his Italian neighborhood give way to Chinese immigrants, tourists and yuppies. Stansberry tells Nick's story in the hard-edged prose it demands. Straight noir, no chaser.--
