At night in the city, anything is possible.  Even the truth.

For Porter Wren, the city is the story: of millionaires on the make and strippers on the clock.  Of a young woman with perfect teeth and a tragic past.  Of a brilliant filmmaker's body found in the rubble of a demolished building.  For Wren, a top New York tabloid columnist, the story is always changing but never different, always shocking but never a surprise.  Until he steps over the line.

A beautiful woman has entered Wren's life.  She's jeopardizing his family and his marriage.  She's leading him into the netherworld her dead filmmaker husband chronicled on secret videotapes--and to a billionaire who wants one of those tapes badly.  Suddenly, Porter Wren, the man who has seen it all and written it all, is on the run through the city that once was his beat, through a maze of deception, sexual obsession, and blackmail--searching for the one thing that will set him free and the last thing he expects to find: the truth.

Review:
In this full-bore detective tale of scandal and mayhem in the Big Apple, Colin Harrison whips up noir for the 90s, complete with a jaded newspaperman protagonist, a mysterious femme fatale, exhaustive travelogues of the meat-grinder labyrinth of Manhattan, and an elusive jade figurine. Harrison weds a literary sensibility to this tangled tale, but the pleasures of the novel come mainly from the conventional elements of all detective fiction: the assembling of apparently disconnected pieces into a coherent puzzle.
