Strangers in the Night

By Peg Tyre

Special 30th Anniversary Edition featuring a new foreword from the author.

" Strangers in the Night is a terrifying novel of big-city crime reporting. Peg Tyre knows what she's talking about, and it shines through on every page." -- JAMES PATTERSON

Ambitious but unseasoned crime reporter Kate Murray is hungry to prove herself at a cutthroat New York City tabloid. But when she blows a major murder story-- mistaking a slain crack dealer for a promising Harvard-bound student-- her editors give her one last chance to save her career.

Scanning the weekend homicide reports, Kate spots a case no one else seems to be watching: Margaret Severing, a devoted nurse gunned down in the lobby of her Bushwick apartment building. Determined to redeem herself, Kate dives in, racing to uncover the truth before the police-- or her competitors-- can.

Her reporting puts her on a collision course with two dangerous men: Detective John Finn, still shaken by a near-fatal incident and clinging to the hope that Kate might be a fresh start... and Dominick Donatti, a brooding psychopath and the sole witness to the nurse's killing, who believes Kate is his way out of the life closing in around him.

As Kate chases the story of her career, she's drawn into a web of obsession, ambition, and violence-- where one wrong move could cost her everything.
