New York Dead

New York Dead is the Stone Barrington novel, introducing Stone as a New York cop whose life is thrown off course when he witnesses television anchor Sasha Nijinsky plunge from a Manhattan terrace. What begins as a shocking accident quickly turns into something murkier, pulling Stone into a case tangled with media attention, privilege, and the unsettling private life surrounding Sasha.

Set in New York’s upscale social world, the novel mixes police investigation with glossy scandal and fast-moving suspense. Readers can expect a slick, urban crime story with a strong sense of momentum, a damaged but capable central figure, and a tone that leans more toward high-voltage thriller than quiet procedural. As the opening book in the Stone Barrington series, it establishes the character’s world and the blend of crime, wealth, and danger that would shape the books that follow.
