Hot Night in the City

<i>Hot Night in the City</i> is a masterwork from Trevanian, whose unique ability to create a new stylistic "voice" for each genre he visits has produced the international best sellers: <i>The Main, The Summer of Katya, </i>and <i>Shibumi</i>, and his hundreds of thousands of ardent fans.<br> <br><i>Hot Night in the City </i>offers a feast for every taste: action, romance, laughter, love, wit, compassion...all seasoned by a wryly oblique view of the human condition.
