Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The third crime novel from Man Booker Prize-winner John Banville, writing as Benjamin Black. It was originally commissioned as a serial by the "New York Times" magazine, and is a standalone thriller. 'What stands out is Black's portrayal of contemporary New York...It's an edgy read, worthy of Don DeLillo' "Evening Standard"
