Manhattan Nocturne cover

Manhattan Nocturne and The Havana Room have been re-jacketed in stunning new city-thriller livery, to tie in with the publication of Harrison's new paperback, The Finder. Colin Harrison delivers the pace of John Grisham, the punch of Tom Wolfe and the intrigue of Chinatown.

Colin Harrison takes the classic noir novel and elevates it into a literary portrait of a soul dividedFor Porter Wren, a New York tabloid columnist, the city is the story: millionaires on the make and strippers on the clock; a woman with perfect teeth and a tragic past; a brilliant filmmaker found dead in the rubble of a demolished building. The story is always shocking but never a surprise. Until he steps over the line. A beautiful woman has entered Wren's life, leading him into the netherworld her dead husband chronicled on secret videotapes - and to a billionaire who wants one of those tapes badly. Suddenly Wren is on the run through the city that was once his beat, searching for the one thing that will set him free: the truth.

'No-one delivers a sharper thriller than the superb Colin Harrison' Mail on Sunday 'This superbly executed novel has the appeal of the darkest thriller and the clockwork mechanism of the finest whodunnit' Time Out 'Charged with sex, technology and veiled threats pungently fulfilled ... Harrison brings an analogue sensibility to this digital world' The Times 'A darkly scintillating psychological drama ... A must' Cosmopolitan
