このコンテンツについて
An electrifying new voice in crime fiction: Allison LaMothe’s debut is a gritty, fast-paced mystery about a reporter running down two huge stories at once
“Allison LaMothe is a wildly talented writer with an exacting eye for detail and her tenacious tabloid reporter, Parker Snow, is gutsy, whip-smart, and the perfect tour guide through pre-Giuliani New York City." —Julia Dahl, author of I Dreamed of Falling
New York City, 1992—Meet Parker Snow, the most tenacious reporter for a tabloid paper that thrives on juicy gossip over hard-hitting news, the New York Street. She also has a big black mark on her record from her last street crime story—and a habit of taking a few too many pills to erase the memory.
Since the fall of the USSR, a new crop of Russian criminals have been arriving in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. It's now Parker's job to cover them. But her old beat keeps calling to her, especially when she learns of a murdered woman whose case the cops want to ignore.
Trying to run down two stories at once—a simmering mafia turf war, and a homicide that leads to two more with no clear link between them—Parker must also fight the pull of her pills and the arrogant men who get in her way at every turn. Despite it all, she's determined to find truth and redemption for herself, the victims, and a city in chaos—if her demons don't get to her first.
批評家のレビュー
“Dirty Metal is one of the boldest debut novels I've read in years. Allison LaMothe is a wildly talented writer with an exacting eye for detail and her tenacious tabloid reporter, Parker Snow, is gutsy, whip-smart, and the perfect tour guide through pre-Giuliani New York City. I absolutely loved this book." —Julia Dahl, author of I Dreamed of Falling and Invisible City
"Driven by a need for redemption, both for herself and the murdered women, Parker Snow proves she’s as gritty and relentless as the streets she covers—making Dirty Metal a razor-sharp debut."—Lauren Nossett, ITW Thriller Award–winning author of The Professor and The Resemblance
“A rough and tumble debut that crackles with voice and style, Allison LaMothe’s Dirty Metal will ring in your head long after you’ve turned the last page. Boasting all the ingredients of a must-read thriller—a plucky and complicated protagonist, mesmerizing setting, and gripping mystery—Dirty Metal is a poised and poignant story that feels more like a tenth novel than a first.” —Alex Segura, bestselling and award-winning author of Secret Identity and Alter Ego
“Set in 1992 NYC, Dirty Metal rumbles and roars like a downtown express train. From the Lower East Side to Bensonhurst to Brighton Beach, Allison LaMothe's relentless reporter, Parker Snow, leaves no door un-knocked and can smell a liar a mile away. Her investigation pushes her to the limit in this debut that is vibrating with heart, grit, and an uncompromising moral clarity.” —Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of The Note
