The Shooting Gallery: A Detective Yablonsky Mystery

[2015 Reprint] After Detective Yablonsky stumbles over the body of a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist in Central Park, he follows the murder clues into the seedy underbelly of Manhattan's elite world of the rich and famous. The victim, Skinny McPherson was a tough-hitting reporter for the alternative newspaper The Guardian and had high-powered enemies everywhere—from real-estate mogul Raymond Staples to crooked judge Dollars Dillon. But the more Detective Yablonsky investigates, the further he is mired in the hard-boiled world of corruption and murder. Ultimately he traces his quarry to the heart of the East Village, where Starbucks and drug-infested “shooting galleries” sit side-by-side. Lean, taut, and gripping at every turn, The Shooting Gallery is a return to form for one of America's premiere voices in mystery writing.
