There is a little known rule of the
New York County Courthouse. When a judge
dies his staff keep their jobs until the end of the calendar year. It is New Year’s Eve. The judge dies in his office that morning. Carol and Tom, his staff members, both can’t
afford to lose their jobs the next day.
They decide to hide his death and make it look like he died during the new
year. Sounds simple right? Best laid plans…
If anything can go wrong, it
will. This is such a twisty turny maze
through Manhattan and the surrounding area.
Nothing ever goes smoothly. The author
keeps numerous plot lines intersecting and colliding to make a great
thriller. I think this one would make a
great movie.
