Детектив Стоун Баррингтон оказывается свидетелем страшного полета с двенадцатого этажа - полета без парашюта - известной телеведущей Саши Нижинской... Самоубийство или убийство? Это невероятно, но женщина продолжает жить, однако умчавшая ее в больницу "скорая помощь" попадает в катастрофу. Нижинской нет ни среди убитых, ни среди раненных... Так начинается роман С. Вудза "Нью-Йорк Мертвецов", в котором естественно соединяются остросюжетность американского триллера с многоплановостью композиции и тонким психологизмом.

In the bitter winter of 1920, the first body is found in Delano, Georgia; the naked corpse of an unidentified teenager. There is no direct evidence of murder, but the body bears marks of what seems to be a ritual beating. The investigation falls to Will Henry Lee, a failed cotton farmer newly appointed as Delano's first chief of police. Lee's obsession with the crime begins a story that weaves through the decades, following the life of a small southern town and the role of three police chiefs in unraveling the crime. Chiefs is the best kind of thriller, where the investigation plays out against the drama beneath the surface of a seemingly placid community, seething with the pressures of race, love, hate, and; always; political power, extending from the town fathers all the way to Washington, DC. With a new foreword by the author, this volume will be a collector's treasure for all fans of Stuart Woods.
