Book Review of Manhattan Is My Beat (Rune, Bk 1)

Manhattan Is My Beat  (Rune, Bk 1)
reviewed on


Five feet two inches os slick repartee, near purple hair, and a poetic imagination, twenty year old Rune hasn't been in Manhattan very long. But she's crafty enough to have found a squatter's paradise in an empty TriBeCa loft, and a video store job that feeds her pasion for old movies. It's a passion she shares with her favorite customer, Mr. Elly, a lonely old man who rents the same vidoe over and over. The flick is a noir classic based on a real life unsolved bank hesit and a million missing dollars. It's called Manhattan Is My Beat.
That's the tape Rune is picking up from Mr. Kelly's shabby apartment when she finds him shot to death.
