{"product_id":"dirty-metal-a-novel","title":"Dirty Metal: A Novel","description":"“Standout debut. . . LaMothe is a startling and original talent.” ―CrimeReads\n\nNew York City, 1992. The city is rough. Parker Snow is rougher.\n\nParker Snow is the best crime reporter at her tabloid, The New York Street. Or at least she was. Since a colossal screwup landed her on the sidelines, she’s been demoted to covering the Russian mob that's flooded Brighton Beach after the fall of the USSR.\n\nWhen Parker stumbles on the body of a 20-year-old woman in Brooklyn with no witnesses or suspects, the cops want to write off as just another pin in the crime map. But Parker doesn’t buy it―especially when a second woman turns up dead under nearly identical circumstances, this time in Chinatown.\n\nWill Parker stay in her lane?\n\nDoubtful.\n\nNow she's running down two stories at once: a simmering mafia turf war, and a possible serial murderer stalking the city. Fighting the pull of the little orange pill bottle she always has in her pocket, Parker will stop at nothing to find out the truth.\n\nThat is, if her demons―or the killer―don’t get to her first.\n\nA CrimeReads 2026 Most Anticipated Thriller • “A bold debut befitting its bold heroine.” ―Kirkus (starred review) • \"A razor-sharp debut.\" ― Lauren Nossett, ITW Thriller Award–winning author • \"Vibrating with heart, grit, and an uncompromising moral clarity.\" ― Alafair Burke, NYT bestselling author\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250382521\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1250382521.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:LaMothe, Allison\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
