The Mayors of New York

by S. J. Rozan, L. J. Ganser (Read by)

Overview

This award-winning author’s new novel finds private investigators Bill Smith and Lydia Chin thrust into the mystery behind the disappearance of the teenage son of the mayor of New York.

In January, New York City inaugurates its first female mayor. In April, her son disappears.

Called in by the mayor’s chief aide—a former girlfriend of private investigator Bill Smith’s—to find the missing fifteen-year-old, Bill and his partner, Lydia Chin, are told the boy has run away. Neither the press nor the NYPD know that he’s missing, and the mayor wants him back before a headstrong child turns into a political catastrophe. But as Bill and Lydia investigate, they turn up more questions than answers.

Why did the boy leave? Who else is searching for him, and why? What is his twin sister hiding?

Then a teen is found dead and another is hit by gunfire. Are these tragedies related to each other, and to the mayor’s missing son?

In a desperate attempt to find the answer to the boy’s disappearance before it’s too late, Bill and Lydia turn to the only contacts who can help them: the de facto power brokers of neighborhoods all over the city—the people who are the real “mayors” of New York.

Editorial Reviews

Rozan allows the Big Apple to shine by depicting its diversity and the many ‘mayors’ that rule the city’s neighborhoods, from Chinatown to upscale enclaves in the Bronx. The characterizations are brilliant, and Bill’s voice narrating is a total delight.”
