New York Dead by Stuart Woods

Finished on 6/18.

On about page two, she falls from an eighth story window right at the feet of our hero, Stone Barrington. And the rest of the book is about whether or not she is dead or not.

Under the cover of a police procedural, this one is really grotesque. Seems that I remember that about Stuart Woods. I've read a few of his and liked them, but not well enough to go back to the beginning and read them through. I liked this one, liked the main character, but there are a number of folks on my reread list before him. Maybe I just don't like New York: too many people in too little space. "Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above ---"
