Synopsis

Hipsters are getting slashed to pieces in the hippest neighborhood in New York: Williamsburg, Brooklyn. While Detectives Petrosino and Hadid hound local gangbangers, slacker reporter Tony Moran and his ex, Magaly Fernandez, get caught up in a missing persons caseone that might just get them hacked to death.Filled with a cast of colorful characters and told with sardonic wit, this fast-moving, intricately plotted novel plays out against a backdrop of rapid gentrification, skyrocketing rents, and class tension. New Yorkers and anyone fascinated with the city will love the storys details, written like only a true native could. Entertaining to the last, this rollicking debut is sure to make Richie Narvaez a rising star on the mystery scene.

My digital bookmark has just left HIPSTER DEATH RATTLE by Richie Narvaez. It's a very funny book, with lots of great one-liners. "The man turned to look at Magaly, giving one of those lifeless stares you get from ex-cons, killers, and video gamers." Narvaez also has a real talent for description. The......more
