Overview

Winner of the Shamus Award. Nominated for the Edgar, Macavity, and Barry awards.

"Reed Farrel Coleman is a terrific writer . . . a hard-boiled poet. . . . If life were fair, Coleman would be as celebrated as [George] Pelecanos and [Michael] Connelly."—Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air

Ex-NYPD cop turned PI and entrepreneur Moe Prager is faced with a gut-wrenching case. The apparent suicide of his old friend and NYPD chief of detectives Larry McDonald forces Moe back onto the decaying Coney Island streets he patrolled when he was in uniform. But now, beneath the boardwalk and behind the rusted and crumbling rides of the midway, he finds a trail of death, betrayal, and corruption reaching back to 1972.

This new edition features:

  • New foreword by best-selling crime writer Craig Johnson (Junkyard Dogs)
  • New afterword by Reed Farrel Coleman

Reed Farrel Coleman has published twelve novels, including two under his pen name Tony Spinosa, and Tower, co-authored with Ken Bruen. He has been twice nominated for the Edgar Award and is a three-time winner of the Shamus Award. Reed is the former executive vice president of Mystery Writers of America and was the editor of the anthology Hard Boiled Brooklyn. The sixth Moe Prager novel, Innocent Monster, will be published by Tyrus Books in October 2010. Reed is an adjunct professor in creative writing at Hofstra University, and he lives with his family on New York's Long Island.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Set in late 1980s New York City, Coleman's gritty fourth Moe Prager mystery is somewhat less surprising and realistic than its acclaimed predecessor, The James Deans(2005), which won Shamus, Barry and Anthony awards. Prager, an ex-cop turned PI, has a cryptic encounter with his old friend Larry McDonald, the NYPD chief of detectives. Larry slips him a covertly recorded tape of an interrogation of a snitch claiming to know the secret behind the murder of Dexter Mayweather, a major-league drug dealer in the early 1970s. When McDonald himself turns up an apparent suicide, Prager calls in a variety of favors from old friends to sift the truth behind Mayweather's death, even as his marriage hits a lull, leaving him vulnerable to an attractive young Hispanic detective. Less sharply written than earlier books, this effort builds to a fairly predictable solution. (Apr.)

    Another Hit for Coleman

    Some books are favorites because they are well-written, lyrical almost; others because they're fast paced--they keep you turning the pages; and still others because of unforgetable characters. SOUL PATCH is a winner with all three. Mystery fans will love it. Anyone familiar with Brooklyn, especially the Coney Island that used to be, will enjoy the trek down memory lane. And, of course, Moe Prager fans will get to see Moe in action again . Definitely worth reading. Reed Coleman has a hit!
