Paradise City - Softcover

Simon & Schuster Edition.

"No one captures the sound and sense of the streets of New York City like Lorenzo Carcaterra. More than any other New York--based crime writer, he gets the city. His characters sound like the real thing, whether cops or criminals. Paradise City is Carcaterra at his best: an action-packed page-turner with a real hero at its center."
-GARY FIDEL, executive assistant district attorney, Queens County District Attorney's Office; technical adviser, Law & Order

"Few writers on the scene today weave a yarn with such relentless fervor as Lorenzo Carcaterra. His characters emerge from the page and enter the room with you, compassionate and honest, whispering in your ear, their dialogue as hard as a diamond cutter, their stories as compelling as a killer's confession. That's because Carcaterra has walked the walk, talked the talk, and lived the stories whereof he writes. So take a deep breath, hang on for dear life, and go for the ride wherever he may take you."
-WILLIAM DIEHL
