Brick, a Cop & a Gangster (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218612764)

Solve a murder or save your marriage? What would you do?

It's been a tough week for NYPD Detective Thomas Brick.

• He accidentally kills a criminal... again.

• He gets suspended... again.

• He is served with divorce papers... again.

• He is being chased by a homicidal gangster who wants to kill him... again.

And oh yeah, Brick attempts to commit suicide but screws that up too...again.

Despite his massive baggage, Detective Brick is still the best cop in the city to track down Python, a serial killer that has New York City on edge and the local news media overjoyed with the prospect of huge ratings from a sensational story.

To catch the killer Brick goes underground into a world of notorious drug dealers, charismatic pimps, deadly gun traffickers and mysterious occult experts.

Set in the late fall of 2021, Brick, City of Saints is a ripped from the headlines tale of ego, fame, dark humor, dirty money and danger. The main characters in this adventure are as diverse and interesting as the alien races found at the famous Mos Eisley cantina scene featured in Star Wars.

Brick, City of Saints takes place on the angry streets of New York City and the exotic island of Jamaica. Inspired by the real-life experiences of the author, a 20-year veteran executive of the news industry, Brick, City of Saints is a gritty crime thriller in the style of Training Day, Seven, The Usual Suspects and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
