The Song New York Keeps

By J.R. Walton

Quick Summary

New York doesn't whisper. It buries.

New York doesn't whisper. It buries.

Damon Reyes arrives in Manhattan carrying evidence that Miami's most dangerous conspiracy doesn't stop at the water's edge - it has roots in the financial district, on the upper floors of a white-shoe law firm, and in the private dining rooms of a members club with no public address. He comes to New York to follow the money. He doesn't expect Adrienne Holloway.

She is everything Miami isn't: precise, architectural, armored in competence. A federal defense attorney who has spent eight months quietly building the same case Damon has been building from the outside - logging evidence, running risks that could end her career or worse, waiting for someone with enough reach to use what she's assembled. When Damon walks into her orbit, she sizes him up in under a minute and decides he might be worth trusting.

The attraction is immediate, complicated, and inconvenient. Two people who have both spent years keeping emotion at arm's length, discovering that proximity and shared danger are a combination that erodes professional distance faster than either of them expected.

But Gregor Vane - the ghost at the center of the conspiracy - has operated in the shadows for fifteen years without leaving a legal fingerprint, and he has no intention of being exposed by an investigator and a lawyer who are too distracted by each other to see the threat forming around them.

The Song New York Keeps is a charged, intelligent adult thriller for readers who want the sophistication of legal and financial crime fiction matched with the heat of a romance built on mutual respect, equal power, and the specific danger of falling for someone who is as dangerous to know as they are impossible to walk away from.
