Set against the backdrop of 1970s New York City, this expansive novel weaves together the lives of disparate characters connected by a central act of violence in Central Park. Hallberg’s narrative captures the grit, ambition, and cultural ferment of a city on the brink of transformation, blending elements of mystery with a profound exploration of urban alienation.
