  “Brooklyn Motto is Raymond Chandler by way of Lou Reed: street-smart, razor-sharp,  humming with menace. Johnson doesn’t just capture the city on edge; he drags you down its avenues, one gut-punch line at a time.” —Alex Abramovich, author of Bullies: A Friendship 
  “A stylish, propulsive mystery that beautifully captures late 90s New York City in the convulsions of enormous social and economic change. Alex R. Johnson combines novelistic texture with cinematic pace to great effect, and narrator Nico Kelly is the perfect guide to this world full of danger, corruption, and also hope.”  —Sam Lipsyte, author of No One Left to Come Looking for You 
  “A top-shelf cocktail infused with the ghostly flavors of a vanishing New York. One part Raymond Chandler, one part Pavement, and one part Blow-Out... the tastiest 90's neo-noir this side of 14th Street.” —Rahne Alexander, author of Heretic to Housewife 
  Fans of Richard Price, Charlie Huston, Jonathan Lethem and Elmore Leonard will love this coming-of-age New York-centric detective noir debut from esteemed filmmaker and screenwriter Alex R. Johnson.  
  New York City, 1998. New York is changing around Nico Kelly, and he can feel more coming.  
  A private investigator and self-proclaimed photographer, Nico is stuck in a loop of city contracts and self loathing. What little middle class there was is disappearing-long-standing factories are moving out and taking their reliable neighborhood jobs with them, and Mayor Rudy Giuliani's police force has the streets in a stranglehold. Nico spends his days investigating fraud and his nights trying to get rid of the nagging feeling that his day job makes him a professional snitch.  
  When he witnesses and records a murder during one of his investigations, bodies start to turn up all around him and he's forced into solving a mystery he didn't ask to solve. Humorous, gritty, and real, Nico's search for what it means to be human takes him through the deepest and darkest parts of New York City.

  ‘Antonia, Antonia. My name is Antonia.’ 
  It’s been her name for many years. But sometimes, like tonight, she forgets. 
  Antonia has a secret. A secret so dark and so deep that she can barely admit it to herself. Instead, she treats herself to Friday night sessions of self-harm while her husband David is at the pub, and her best friend Sophie is drinking too much wine a few doors down. 
  Nobody close to her knows the truth about what the teenage Antonia saw all those years ago. No-one, that is, except her mother. But Candy is in a care home now, her mind too addled to remember the truth. Antonia is safe. Isn’t she?
