Doors of the Night

New York City, 1922. A man wakes to find himself accused of murder and a half-million dollar robbery he did not commit. The courts have spoken. The evidence, however, is a lie. In the shadowed corridors of a city that never sleeps, doors open onto danger, and the truth hides behind secret passages known only to the desperate. A mysterious woman holds evidence that could free him, but her loyalty is as uncertain as the masked figure who stalks the underworld. A crooked lawyer, stolen jewels, forged wills: the conspiracy reaches into the highest offices and the lowest gutters. Every hour brings him closer to the truth and closer to those who would kill to keep it buried. Packard crafts a thriller where nothing is as it seems, where trust is a liability, and where the doors of the night open onto either salvation or destruction.
