When One Man Dies

"A terrific novel, a unique and artful blend of the PI and the Police Procedural in a plot as nicely tangled and sexually violent as a cat fight." —James Crumley, Dashiell Hammett Award–winning author

It's been four years since Jackson Donne went from cop to private investigator, so he's seen his share of trouble in New Brunswick, New Jersey. And he doesn't like it when it hits too close to home—or, in this case, too close to the Olde Towne Tavern, Donne's home-away-from-home. His drinking buddy, Gerry Figuroa, gets killed right outside the bar in a hit-and-run. Just when Donne is looking for a fresh start by returning to college at twenty-eight years old, he's drawn back into the game. All this while investigating a suspected cheating husband.

Donne soon discovers that Gerry was not the man he thought he knew. Instead, he's someone whose secrets will bring down a world of pain on his friends and relatives. And when Donne realizes that both of his cases have dangerous underworld connections, he's about to be launched into a world of violence . . .

"[A] remarkable debut novel. . . . White manages the neat trick of respecting the genre's traditions while daring to nudge it toward something new and unexpected." —Laura Lippman, New York Times–bestselling author

"White has written a PI novel that is both traditional and fresh, one of the few new talents to join this much-plowed field with something interesting and original to say." —Chicago Sun-Times

"Derringer Award–winner White's engrossing, evocative debut novel will grab most readers from its opening sentences." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
