Hot Night in the City offers a feast for every taste: action, romance, laughter, love, wit, compassion...and above all, sheer entertainment. Meet a parade of unforgettable characters in compelling situations: a bewitching young madman charms his trusting victim; two women engage in a battle of wits; a crusty old carnival huckster instructs his adolescent apprentice; an ancient Native American strives to unite his people; a famous writer learns an unpalatable truth about himself; a boy struggles to rid himself of a stifling love: a young couple find one another through a hilarious pattern of coincidences, and more. Carrying the reader from the streets of big-city America to Paris, the Holy Lands, mythic Britain, the Basque country, modern London, and the primitive North American heartland, Hot Night in the City is nothing less than a tour de force.
