O ovoj e-knjizi
A gritty mystery set against the backdrop of New York's hip-hop music culture: "A real page-turner." — PopMatters
A security specialist who thrives off of Manhattan's nightlife, D Hunter is the man people turn to when they need help without drawing the attention of the NYPD.
When a rising R&B star is kidnapped, music manager Ivy Greenwich hires D for an unusual assignment. Things go well, and D thinks he's done. But now Greenwich wants D to escort mega-pop star Bridgette Haze around the city's hip hop clubs to give her an edgier, more urban image.
Hunter reluctantly agrees—and soon finds himself both falling for Haze and in urgent pursuit of a mysterious kidnapper, all while battling his own thirst for revenge, in this fast-paced, noir-tinged mystery fueled by New York City's hip hop culture, featuring a bodyguard-turned-PI whom Library Journal calls "as world weary, yet steadfast, as Philip Marlowe."
"George writes with pace and panache . . . packing his tale with more glitzy characters than a red carpet E! broadcast." — Kirkus Reviews
"Emmy-winning TV producer George examines the ambition, deception, corruption and pervasive drug culture that lurk on the underside of the music world in this noirish thriller." — Publishers Weekly
