Product Description
“Detective Jane Bauer is a most welcome addition to the ranks of fictional cops.”
–Peter Robinson
When NYPD detective Jane Bauer and her team check in for their new assignment, they reopen a cold case that’s a real killer. Ten years earlier, police responding to a spate of late-night 911 calls from Greenwich Village discovered a young African American undercover cop, Micah Anthony, shot dead on Waverly Place. The killer left no clues, and the murder remains an inscrutable mystery . . . except for two things: Anthony had infiltrated a lucrative gun-trading operation in the city, and it seemed likely that he knew and trusted the killer.
So begins an investigation that leads Jane from Village brownstones to middle-class Queens, from wealthy Sutton Place to sinister subway tunnels, as a mastermind of murder resumes operations–and every path is mined with menace.
“Harris knows a lot about cops and a lot about women and she knows how to plot a good mystery.”
–Stephen Greenleaf

This Book will keep your interest,
By A Customer
This review is from: Murder in Greenwich Village: A Manhattan Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
A new author for me and an entirely enjoyable experience. I cared about the main characters and was thoroughly involved in the plot. I read a great many books but it is great to find something which is entertaining enough for a good holiday read without being trite. This is the third book in Ms. Harris Manhattan series - I will certainly be looking for the firt two as well as for some of her previous mysteries.

A Great Read....,
By Susan "loverofbooks" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder in Greenwich Village: A Manhattan Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
What can I say? I picked this book up and didn't want to put it down until the very last page!! This third volume in the Jane Bauer series is a terrific police procedural while giving us further insight into our heroine. Not only did I find the story line suspenseful, but greatly appreciated the fact that Ms. Harris left no threads dangling by completing, down to the last character, the cold case that Jane's squad was working. (I have found too many "best-selling authors" ignoring their very own people and plots and appear to be in a rush to the end-NOT IN THIS BOOK).
Jane's loving relationship with Hack receives the exact amount of attention without going overboard (JMHO) and now they have moved to a place where the "moralists" out there will be happier (maybe?). Personally, until I read the prior reviews, I never gave it a thought. Again, I must thank Ms. Harris for a terrific read and am looking forward to number 4 in this series!!!

Mysterylover,fromdownunder,
By Arkay - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder in Greenwich Village: A Manhattan Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed this third book in the Manhattan Mystery series, but then I have always enjoyed Lee Harris's books (admitably some more than others)
I felt that Detective Jane Bauer's relationship with her team has evolved more with each book, this time Sean MacHovec redeemed himself with his Online research and seemed to be less of a sleeze. In this book there is more background to Jane's longterm romance and Jane's hesitation in committing to Hack. I certainly can't wait for the next episode to see where this leads. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

CREEPY CRAWLY SUBWAY TUNNELS,
By ITZME "JEANNE" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder in Greenwich Village: A Manhattan Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
I am sorry to see this series end (Manhattan Mysteries) with only 3 books. This time out Jane Bauer and her Cold Case team are trying to solve the ten-year old case of the murder of an Undercover Policeman. Involved, too, is the theft of Berettas from an armory. This is an exciting book with lots of twists and turns but enjoyable to the end.
