One Night

Autor Lara Thompson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 2022
'An atmospheric portrait of a city as well as a compelling crime story' Guardian

At the top of the Empire State Building on a freezing December night, two women are waiting for the man who has wronged them. They plan to seek the ultimate revenge.

Set over the course of a single night, One Night, New York is a murder mystery as well as a love story. It is also a portrait of old New York, of bohemian Greenwich Village between the wars, of floozies and artists and addicts, of a city that sucked in creatives and immigrants alike, lighting up the world, while all around America burned amid the heat of the Great Depression.

'A page-turner with style' Erin Kelly

'An assured debut so evocative you can almost smell the bathtub gin wafting off the pages' Red

'Thompson's impressive debut delivers a beautifully detailed and multifaceted account of Jazz Age New York' Irish Times
