The mission was simple: prove his friend was dead.

Malgré l'avis de sa hiérarchie, Frank Parish, inspecteur au NYPD, s'entête à enquêter sur le meurtre d'une adolescente, victime, pense-t-il, d'un tueur en série. Contraint de consulter une psychothérapeute après la mort de son partenaire, Frank va lui livrer l'histoire de son père, figure éminente des Anges de New York, ces flics d'élite qui, dans les années 1980, ont nettoyé Manhattan de la pègre et des gangs. Une histoire bien différente de la légende communément admise. A travers la police de New York, Ellory s'attaque de nouveau à la mythologie américaine. Avec ce récit d'une rare profondeur, il nous offre un thriller au suspense omniprésent et le portrait déchirant d'un homme en quête de justice et de rédemption. Des personnages extraordinairement bien campés, une atmosphère à couper au couteau, une intrigue noire à souhait, bref, la quintessence du petit plaisir du grand frisson. Gilles Fontaine, Challenge.

John Harper has just made a discovery: the father he believed to be dead for more than thirty years is alive, though lying in a coma in a Manhattan hospital. Returning home to New York brings with it memories of childhood, many of them painful, and yet Harper could never have prepared himself for the truth. Confronted with the reality of his father's existence, Harper finds himself seduced by a lifestyle that he seems to have inherited--an underworld life of power, treachery, and menace. As he desperately tries to uncover the facts of his own past, he is faced with one lie after another, and with each new discovery he becomes more and more entangled in a dark and shocking conspiracy. From the acclaimed author of A Quiet Belief in Angels and A Simple Act of Violence, City of Lies is a tense and gripping thriller, each twist and turn more shocking than the last.
