Readers will join master storytellers Larry King and Thomas H. Cook on this top-speed ride through the bright lights of the big City and down through its darkest alleyways to meet its most dangerous denizens. Arthur Vandameer--Famed TV political commentary giant, a liberal stalwart, who is rich, famous and miserable. He has risen to fame, fortune and glamour at the top of the city's glittering media heap only to find...nothing. His teenaged daughter, privileged and glamorous Allison Vandameer is blonde, beautiful and a couple of dozen verbal questions short of an admitting SAT score. Her biggest realization is finding out that the statue across from the Plaza is none other than General Sherman who fought gallantly in the Civil War, only to ponder deeply--Civil War--now what was that all about? Her boyfriend, Joselito Diaz (aka Goonie), is special to her only because she knows her father can't stand him. Roy Bumble spends each day contemplating the "big score" that will make him infinitely wealthy...until he has to go to work at his post as a doorman. Charlie Moon is a big city newspaperman, who is convinced that he has seen everything in this crazy town, until he's sent out on assignment to do a piece for the "Style" section of his daily. Harry "Ace" Stumbo rounds out the pack. He knows all the angles in this dirty town--all the bad men and the worst women--but just doesn't know how to keep his fingers off them. When the lovely Allison runs off to elope with Goonie, these wonder fulcharacters are thrown into a suspenseful web of intrigue in the town that was so nice, they named it twice. Moon Over Manhattan will take readers along on a crazy, break-neck, taxicab ride of an adventure that will thrill and intrigue while it serves up a healthy slice of New York humanity.
