Woman Without a Past

New York private detective Ed Cooper lives by his own rules, but in an instant, his familiar life falls apart. "Help me get rid of the body" — with these words, his sister's husband plunges Ed into the heart of a deadly game. At stake are securely hidden jewels from the time of the fall of the Third Reich, and on Cooper's tail are ruthless criminals. The investigation into the mystery of the tragic death of the "woman without a past" transforms into a noir story, and every step forward leads to dark corners of his own memory hidden in the shadows of skyscrapers. To unravel this case, he will have to not only survive but also confront the echoes of war trauma, the ghost of a mother who abandoned her family, and his feelings for a talented but impulsive actress. Such is the price of meeting the fate of the "woman without a past." Meet the new book by the author of the popular novel "Easy Money Doesn't Exist."
