This new US edition introduces Lennox--a hard man in a hard place at a hard time. The first in an award-winning series published in twelve languages around the world, LENNOX is classic noir cut to the bone. Damaged by war and out of place in peacetime, Lennox is a hard-drinking, womanizing, occasionally thuggish private investigator working both sides of the law. With corrupt cops on one side and the "Three Kings"--the crime lords who run everything in the city--on the other, Lennox finds himself dragged deeper into a conspiracy that involves people he thought he'd left in his past. But it's his present that concerns him most--when he becomes a murder suspect. It's a race against time to prove himself innocent and keep one step ahead of the police, the gangsters--and others who are much, much more deadly."Lennox is a crime story that transcends the genre. Craig Russell brilliantly uses the character of his tough, funny and hopeful man Lennox to give us the eyes and ears on a time and place. This is storytelling at its very best!" Michael Connelly
