Narrator John McLain delivers intrigue that involves the New York City Library system and police department. Soon after new librarian Leila Stone starts asking questions about Islamic scholar Gobi Tabrizi, Leila’s body is found in the office of Raymond Ambler, a librarian who is an amateur detective. As corrupt cops emerge, McLain creates the ideal voices to give a noir touch to a plot involving seemingly unrelated deaths. Through deft pacing, McLain gives this audiobook strong expression and heightens the dramatic tension. He takes the listener back to the 1980s with the murder of a union leader, an act that reaches into the present. McLain’s excellent performance makes this audiobook exciting to listen to.

But his quest to solve the murder is complicated by personal entanglements involving his friend-or perhaps more-than-friend-Adele Morgan.

When the Intelligence Division of the New York Police Department takes over the case from NYPD homicide detective Mike Cosgrove-Ambler's friend and sometimes partner-in-crime-solving-Ambler suspects that the murder of the young woman and the curious intervention of NYPD's intelligence division are connected. But with the city's law-enforcement establishment determined to stop his investigation, the inquisitive and intrepid librarian faces challenges that may put his very life at risk.
