A video store clerk is convinced that money from the movie Manhattan Is My Beat is still hidden somewhere in New York and sets out to find it. Good book

Part of the author's brief (so far) series about the unique heroine Rune. A good read!

Good book.

This book has "ticking-bomb suspense" but has many light moments, too. It seems, to me, to be completely different from Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series. This is the first of a 3 book series, which features Rune, an aspiring filmmaker with punk tendencies, in New York City. She gets caught up in a dangerous adventure more chilling than anything Hollywood could dream up. She is a good investigator and ends up solving the crime and is a witness for the prosecution.
I thought it was a fun book even though it is a murder mystery.
