A beautiful young French girl walks into a bar, nervously lights a cigarette and begs the bartender for help in finding her missing artist brother. In a moment of weakness, the bartender - a lone wolf named Caesar Stiles with a chip on his shoulder and a Sicilian family curse hanging over him - agrees. What follows is a stylish literary mystery set in Brooklyn on the dawn of gentrification in the early 1990s. Taking place over the course of a single week, Outerborough Blues is a tightly paced and gritty urban noir saturated with rough and tumble NYC atmosphere.
