Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Back on the NYPD after a stint as a PI, Artie Cohen takes on a mysterious and ambiguous special assignment in his twisty, psychologically complex fifth outing, set during the winter of 2002. Obsessed and haunted by the 9/11 terrorist attack, as well as by his fraught Russian upbringing, Cohen has found a sliver of hope in his relationship with Billy Farone, his 12-year-old godson. When bloody clothing is found on a Brooklyn beach, Cohen instinctively fears for Billy's safety. Despite reassurances from Billy's parents that the boy is away with a friend, Cohen remains uneasy—even after evidence links the clothes to a missing girl who eventually turns up dead. Cohen calls on his many contacts in the Brighton Beach Russian émigré community, including underworld figures and other unsavory characters, for help in solving the case. Meanwhile, his boss, who believes a serial killer is preying on New York City's youngsters, alternatively engages and excludes him from the investigation. Nadelson (Bloody London) pulls few punches, and the final revelation is a genuine shocker—a rare accomplishment in crime fiction these days. Nadelson is also the author of a biography, Comrade Rockstar, which is under film option to Tom Hanks.

Right Exit to Brooklyn, Oct 16 2007
By S. Zwerling - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Disturbed Earth (Paperback)
I'm from Brooklyn--the old Brooklyn of the Brooklyn Dodgers when Gil Hodges and Jackie Robinson lived just down the street. Those days are gone and I, like many other gently-maturing Brooklynites can wax nostalgic about them; but if you want to visit today's Brooklyn from the comfort of your arm chair, let Reggie Nadelson escort you. No one in recent decades does as good a job as she of capturing the atmosphere of how Brooklyn has churned, as it always has, into new cultural configurations under the influence of waves of Russian immigrants. With her you will experience their street life, foods, entrepreneurship, their ambition, audatity, and yes their crime. This latter is Nadelson's special territory and no one is better at taking you into that world than her Artie Cohen. A Russian transplant himself, with a foot planted firmly in the downtown scene across the river in Manhattan but with his heart and soul still located among the good, the bad, and the ugly in his more newly-native Brooklyn. As they used to say in my old neighborhood--"Enjoy."

This review is from: Disturbed Earth (Paperback)
Disturbed Earth by Reggie Nadelson is a very suspenseful and gritty novel about New York City Detective Artie Cohen and his quest for justice. Nadelson brings New York to life in her vibrant descriptions and interesting characters. I loved it and highly recommend it to mystery fans everywhere.
