Sleepless City

fullDescription

"A tour-de-force! The pace is relentless, the plot smart, his new lead character, Nick Ryan, is a hero for the times...Reed is a brilliant storyteller." — Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author

When you're in trouble, you call 911.

When cops are in trouble, they call Nick Ryan.

Every cop in the city knows his name, but no one says it out loud. In fact, they don't talk about him at all.

He doesn't wear a uniform, but he is the most powerful cop in New York.

Nick Ryan can find a criminal who's vanished. Or he can make a key witness disappear.

He has cars, safe houses, money, and weapons hidden all over the city.

He's the mayor's private cop, the fixer, the first call when the men and women who protect and serve are in trouble and need protection themselves.

With conflicted loyalties and a divided soul, he's a veteran cop still fighting his own private war. He's a soldier of the streets with his own personal code.

But what happens when the man who knows all the city's secrets becomes a threat to both sides of the law?

     "What's one cop gonna do against a rigged system? Sleepless City answers that question in a blaze of pace, action, suspense, and intrigue, all underpinned by thoughtful moral questions and a truly great new character in Nick Ryan. Coleman is a noir grandmaster, and I hope this series runs forever."

     "Unless you doze on roller coasters, there's no napping through Reed Farrel Coleman's thriller, Sleepless City. The plentiful plot twists and turns—more like ricochets—from breathless start to satisfying finish, and careen across a New York landscape Coleman renders like no one else. At least as surprising as the story twists, though, is its protagonist, Nick Ryan. He ticks all the action hero boxes—tough, brave, resourceful, relentless, but because he's a Coleman character he has a core of intelligence, humanity, and vulnerability that make him great company over a single malt, a car chase, or a new series."

      April 24, 2023
      Anthony Award winner Coleman (the Moe Prager series) introduces an intriguing lead with this timely and accomplished series launch. Following in the footsteps of his father, who blew the whistle on an entire police precinct that protected drug dealers, NYPD Detective Nick Ryan is devoted to serving the city even if it means alienating his corrupt colleagues. When Ryan spots fellow officers spiriting a Black man away from a march protesting the police shooting of an unarmed man, Ryan intervenes. That brings him to the attention of a shady character who identifies himself only as Joe and offers Ryan reassignment to a new unit charged with doing things “that can’t be done in the open” and has unlimited resources thanks to a mysterious benefactor. Ryan eventually agrees, but the assignment turns hazardous when a cop hangout is bombed and Ryan starts to question Joe and his benefactor’s motives. Coleman captures the racial tensions of present-day New York City perfectly and offers a memorable, complicated hero in Ryan. Robert Daley fans will be eager for a sequel.
