Artie Cohen has just married Maxine Crabbe and is about to take a honeymoon when the death of his friend Sid McKay pulls him back. Uncovering secrets he had never known Sid was keeping, as the Republican National Convention of 2004 dominates the city, Artie frantically scours its unknown fringes, from Red Hook to Hunts Point to the old High Line, uncovering a web of lies and deceit, and in the process revealing the twisted ways in which information can be corrupted and turned into propaganda. Through her great skills as a storyteller, Reggie Nadelson weaves a thrilling tale of deception, while bringing her flawed but deeply human protagonist to ever-greater life.

From Publishers Weekly
Nadelson's strong sixth Artie Cohen whodunit (after 2005's The Disturbed Earth) depicts a grim and gritty post-9/11 New York City faced with new fears of terrorism aimed at disrupting the 2004 Republican National Convention. As Cohen, an NYPD detective who grew up in the Soviet Union, prepares to marry, he receives cryptic requests for help from an old friend, Sid McKay, a respected reporter who has become increasingly disillusioned with the corruption of the American news media. Cohen imperils his personal happiness by going the extra mile for McKay, delving into a complicated world of terrorism, the Russian underworld and real estate speculation. Tragically, Cohen's efforts can't prevent McKay's murder. The author continues to raise the stakes for her three-dimensional hero and shows every sign of having many more compelling stories to tell.

If you love early LeCarre, Paretsky, Furst, and Cruz Smith - you will love Nadelson,

This review is from: Red Hook: An Artie Cohen Mystery (Artie Cohen Mysteries) (Paperback)
Artie Cohen is a worthy addition to the pantheon of cynical and brilliant urban detectives both in love with and in rebellion and rejection against his city. For Artie it is New York: not the glitter, but the grime, the ethnic Russian enclaves, the crime worlds and the worlds of working artists and writers. Nadelson suffuses this book with the gripping sense of dread matched only by Arkady Renko's Russia or Smiley's Berlin at their darkest. The diffused sense of distrust: who is a friend? who is a murderer? is someone - worst of all - both? is electrifying and effective. Balanced against this drama is the pull of a new marriage, new family, a hope of normalcy and faith in a wounded city. We admire Artie, we fear for him, we hope he makes healthy choices - and most of all: we immediately order the rest of his saga!

I was disappointed in this book because Londongrod, a more recent work, is phenomenal page turner. This book I found to be just 'okay'.

I'm not sorry that I read it, but it turned out to be all talk and no action. So much for me and Artie Cohen!
