WHAT IT'S ABOUT:

In 1950s New York, Lionel Essrog is a lonely private detective afflicted with Tourette’s Syndrome, trying to solve his friend’s murder. Armed only with a few clues and the powerful engine of his obsessive mind, Lionel unravels closely-guarded secrets that hold the fate of the entire city in the balance.

In a mystery that carries him from gin-soaked jazz clubs in Harlem to the hard-edged slums of Brooklyn and, finally, into the gilded halls of New York’s power brokers, Lionel contends with thugs, corruption, and the most dangerous man in the city to honour his friend and save the woman who might be his own salvation.
