New York City. Summer, 1977. The hottest day on record—the city about to explode.
As a suffocating heatwave grips Crown Heights, the Son of Sam stalks the streets, and a city-wide blackout plunges millions into chaos, lives collide in a brutal symphony of crime, betrayal, and violence in a city on fire. Three twisted tales of love, death, and redemption wrapped together in one book: A husband searches for his vanished bride in a city unraveling at the seams. A group of kids play gangster and stumble into real bloodshed. A father’s gift of a straight razor becomes the weapon in a killing spree no one will forget.
Raw. Gritty. Unforgiving. PSYCHO CITY BLUES is a 24-hour thrill ride into the heart of 1970s New York, where love and violence walk hand in hand, and survival comes at the ultimate price. Darkly comedic, claustrophobically atmospheric, and meticulously studied.
