Book Description
In this third novel in Gabriel Cohen’s Edgar Award–nominated Jack Leightner crime series, the Brooklyn homicide detective investigates the serial killing of prostitutes in Crown Heights and the murder of a friend who ran afoul of Russian gangsters in Brighton Beach Jack Leightner’s new partner is a rookie homicide detective, scared by death but ready to learn. His first case is a gruesome one: a strangled prostitute, hung from her neck in an imitation of suicide and left to fester for days in the summer heat. Nearly overcome, the rookie asks Leightner how he keeps himself from getting emotionally involved with the victims. If we got emotional or took it personally, says Leightner, “there’s no way we could do the job.” But when an old Russian friend in Brighton Beach is murdered, Leightner takes it very personally. Organized crime is stifling this old-world enclave, and his friend made the mistake of getting in the way. Just as dangerous as these thugs is Leightner’s attraction to his friend’s widow, the beautiful Eugenia, whose temptations may make Jack break his cardinal rule about not getting personally involved. Neptune Avenue is the 3rd book in the Jack Leightner Crime Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Book Description
"There are Chinatowns in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, London ... in many different countries all around the globe. But wherever they are located geographically, Chinatown is one community, Fire a gun in New York's Chinatown and the echo reverberates seconds later in Hong Kong. Political pressures emanating from Mainland China are felt by the new wave of immigrants on Mott, Hester, and Delancey Streets in hours." "American-born Jack Yu became one of the few ethnically Chinese officers in the NYPD. Now he has been promoted out of the Chinatown Precinct. But he cannot get away from Chinatown's criminals - his old friends - who are hooked up with Hong Kong based triads in a crooked scam of international proportions." "Henry Chang shows us the people he understands so well: a Chinese yuppie whose loss of face ends in tragedy; an ailing bookie with romance in his soul; a would-be gang leader and the tough new immigrants from Fukien who confront him; and the triad official, Grass Sandal, sent from Hong Kong to liase with local benevolent societies. Year of the Dog shows us what exists beneath the surface of the tourists' Chinatown."--BOOK JACKET.

In this fourth novel in Edgar Award finalist Gabriel Cohen’s acclaimed crime series, Brooklyn homicide detective Jack Leightner reopens the case of his brother’s death four decades later. Cutting class, young Jack Leightner and his brother, Petey, are playing near the Brooklyn waterfront when they find a hidden case of Scotch. They are carrying it home when two teenagers from outside the neighborhood stop them and demand they hand over the booze. Jack refuses, and one of the muggers draws a knife, changing Jack’s life forever. Forty years later, now a veteran of the elite Brooklyn South Homicide Task Force, Leightner still has not come to grips with that fateful day in Red Hook. He is making breakfast one morning when a man appears on his doorstep and introduces himself as Petey’s killer. Leightner could arrest him, but the man makes him a deal: Let me go and I’ll tell you the real reason I stabbed your brother. As Leightner digs into the hidden causes of his family tragedy, he finds his brother’s murder was about much more than a case of Scotch.
