A Nick Ryan Novel
by Reed Farrel Coleman
When you're in trouble, you call 911.
When cops are in trouble, they call Nick Ryan.
Every cop in the city knows his name, but no one says it out loud. In fact, they don't talk about him at all.
He doesn't wear a uniform, but he is the most powerful cop in New York.
Nick Ryan can find a criminal who's vanished. Or he can make a key witness disappear.
He has cars, safe houses, money, and weapons hidden all over the city.
He's the mayor's private cop, the fixer, the first call when the men and women who protect and serve are in trouble and need protection themselves.
With conflicted loyalties and a divided soul, he's a veteran cop still fighting his own private war. He's a soldier of the streets with his own personal code.
But what happens when the man who knows all the city's secrets becomes a threat to both sides of the law?
"Coleman captures the racial tensions of present-day New York City perfectly and offers a memorable, complicated hero in Ryan. Robert Daley fans will be eager for a sequel." —Publishers Weekly
"Sleepless City is urban noir at its finest—lyrical prose written with a straight razor. Nick Ryan is a compelling protagonist who'll stride into your soul and never leave." —Twist Phelan, Thriller Award-winning author"
"Sleepless City is a fast-paced and fascinating look into the moral complexity of a man working both sides of the law. Reed Farrel Coleman is one of our leading literary lights, and if Sleepless City is any indication, this series will be utterly magnificent." —Nick Petrie, author of The Runaway
