New Yorked, by Rob HartRead about the other entries on the list.
In the first of Hart’s Ash McKenna series, his PI McKenna goes searching for an ex-girlfriend with a penchant for trouble. His landscape (for NYC contains multitudes) is the rapidly gentrifying East Village and its cohorts in Brooklyn. For people who are new to the city—new meaning pre-aughts—New Yorked is a love letter to how the city was pre-9/11 and pre-hipster.
