  "The Mystery of 31 New Inn" by R. Austin Freeman is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Dr. Jervis, a medical doctor who becomes involved in a perplexing case concerning a mysterious patient named Mr. Graves. Mr. Graves appears to be gravely ill under unusual circumstances that suggest he may have been poisoned. 
  At the beginning of the narrative, Dr. Jervis reflects on his connection with the influential detective John Thorndyke while recounting a recent incident in his practice. He receives a call from a messenger summoning him to attend to Mr. Graves, a patient who has refused medical help until this point. Upon arriving at a dimly lit house, he is greeted by an anxious housekeeper. 
  When Dr. Jervis confronts Mr. Graves, he notices alarming signs indicative of opium poisoning, which leads him into a web of secrecy and uncertainty. The strange atmosphere, the housekeeper’s behavior, and the ominous presence of Mr. Weiss create a tense dynamic. This raises questions about the true nature of Mr. Graves's illness, the motivations of those involved, and the dark secrets they might be hiding.

  Accused of the murder of his former lover, Korean War veteran Sam Monroe is forced to abandon his job as an assistant district attorney and fight to clear his name. 
    
  Sam Monroe thought his steamy love affair with Manhattan socialite Laura Nielson was dead and buried, but when she didn’t show up after unexpectedly calling him late at night and asking to meet, he decides to investigate. He finds her naked on her penthouse balcony, strangled, his dog tags wrapped around her neck. With a bull’s-eye on his back as the prime suspect, Sam begins a search for the killer that reveals Laura’s involvement with several men, some with ties to a well-known crime family. 
    
  As circumstantial evidence mounts against him, the cops close in, especially a heavy-handed rogue patrolman carrying a grudge against Sam and looking for serious payback. Forced to operate in the shadows, he relies on the unofficial help of several coworkers in the DA’s office and Debora Jean Ryan, a private investigator who offers to assist but has an agenda that she refuses to disclose. As they probe Laura’s past looking for clues, they must also figure out Laura’s mysterious trip out west, the death of a young man in New Jersey during her childhood, and who is making attempts on his life. 
    
  From the crime-ridden precincts of Lower Manhattan, the mean streets of Spanish Harlem, and the lofty mansions along Millionaires’ Row, Night in the City is classic crime noir fiction at its best that wonderfully evokes the vibrant world of 1950s New York. Michael McGarrity again proves himself to be one of the most accomplished writers of mysteries working today. 
    
  "[A] sleek noir … Fans of Dashiell Hammett’s The Thin Man will enjoy the echoes peppered throughout this twisty journey through the underbelly of mid-century New York. It’s a hardboiled good time."—Publishers Weekly

  When an eminent surgeon is arrested for murder, he knows he didn’t do it. He knows what it’s like to feel a person die on his operating table, but he didn’t inflict the wounds that ended the life of the girl they say he killed. 
  So, when the real perpetrator comes forward, and he is released, he feels vindicated.
