The Havana Room: A Novel

A fallen New York lawyer unlocks a world of intrigue and murder in a mysterious steakhouse in this crime noir thriller by the author of Afterburn.

Bill Wyeth is a rising real estate attorney living the lofty heights of success. Then a tragic accident claims everything he has: his family, his fortune, his Park Avenue apartment, his career. But this is Manhattan, and Bill has so much further to fall. His downward spiral lands him at the table of Allison Sparks, the dangerously alluring manager of a Midtown steakhouse. She needs a personal favor of him—to engineer a midnight trade-off in a shady multi-million-dollar real estate deal. For a man with nothing left to lose, the setup is too intriguing to refuse, and like Allison, too forbidden to resist. But her favor draws him deep into a web of sex, deception, and murder—and to a secret place at the back of the restaurant, the Havana Room, where a man might find both evil and redemption . . .

A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, Colin Harrison’s The Havana Room is an intense and intoxicating thriller from a modern master of the New York noir.
