The James Deans (Moe Prager Mysteries)

The Story

It?s 1983 and Reaganomics is in full swing. But beneath the facade of junk bonds and easy money, New York remains a gritty metropolis offering Nirvana with one hand and desolation with the other. Moe Prager, ex-NYPD cop turned reluctant P.I. is too busy reeling from a family tragedy to see what?s coming. He?s about to be sucked into a case that might deliver him what he?s always wanted or plunge him into purgatory. Two years earlier, Moira Heaton, a young intern for an up-and-coming politico, vanished without a trace. Although there is no evidence supporting her boss?s involvement, rumors and whispers have conspired to stall his once-promising career. Now, in a last- ditch effort to clear his name, state senator Steven Brightman, with the clout of a wealthy backer, enlists Moe?s help. With twists and turns galore and Moe?s inimitable voice, The James Deansis an absorbing page- turner that will add to the burgeoning reputation of one of today?s most promising writers.
