“Unless you doze on roller coasters, there’s no napping through Reed Farrel Coleman’s thriller, Sleepless City. The plentiful plot twists and turns—more like ricochets—from breathless start to satisfying finish, and careen across a New York landscape Coleman renders like no one else. At least as surprising as the story twists, though, is its protagonist, Nick Ryan.
