But when a five-million-dollar shipment goes missing during the Newark riots, DiNoto isn’t the only one willing to turn over every rock—and bust some heads, arms, and legs—to find it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA shady developer sees the heroin as the key to rejuvinating his fading business. His daughter Gloria, literally in bed with a band of wannabe revolutionaries, thinks the stash could be her ticket out of her father’s purview. “Mailman,” a longtime postal clerk disfigured by cancer, thinks finding the drugs is the perfect cap to a failed life. With this wild cast of characters running rampant through Newark and Manhattan, Gibson’s debut is a twisting crime novel whose disparate threads lead directly to an unforgettable showdown over the so-called ‘old Turk’s load.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016372109552,"sku":"9780802121141","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802121141_p0.jpg?v=1763665423","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802121141","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
