A Cold Case

In Philip Gourevitch's prizewinning *A Cold Case*, Manhattan DA inspector Andy Rosenzweig is abruptly reminded of an unsolved double homicide from decades past: the murders of his childhood friends, ex-prizefighter Richie Glennon and restaurateur Pete McGinn. Resolved to finally find the notoriously dangerous suspect, Frankie Koehler, Rosenzweig embarks on a relentless pursuit. Gourevitch masterfully weaves together the story of this chase with a mesmerizing account of Koehler's criminal personality and years on the lam. This true crime narrative delves deep into the entwined lives of an extraordinary cop and an extraordinary criminal over three decades, offering a searching literary reckoning with the forces that drive murder and the quest for justice in a vanished New York City.
