From Library Journal This is first-rate crime noir and much more; it is the affecting story of a man forced to choose among painful alternatives that compromise his independence. Freelance photographer David Corman is "the type of guy who ought to have a board hanging over his chest, saying 'No sale.' . . . Not 'Loser.' . . . Just 'No Sale.' " He has thrown away career, marriage, and security in pursuit of his obsession with capturing in one "single exquisite photograph . . . what . . . really happened." He sits at night in his apartment, listening to police broadcasts, waiting for the call to go out after another snapshot of New York's underside. When an unknown woman throws herself from the fifth-floor window of a Hell's Kitchen tenement, Corman pursues her history, seeking a story to sell. He is unprepared for what he finds. Two-time Edgar award nominee Cook has written a haunting story of great emotional depth, which contains within it a first-rate detective story. Highly recommended.- David Keymer, Inst. of Technology, Utica, N.Y.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
