How could a single red Jimmy Choo knock-off shoe, tossed into a trash bin in a New York City subway station, lead to the dismantling of a massive crime syndicate involving illegal importing, prostitution, and human trafficking?
The saga begins with the sharp eye and well-honed sleuthing instincts of Declan Malloy, a retired NYPD detective, and his “forever” best friend, detective Lenny Mancini.
Thanks to the expert character development, dialogue, and detailed imagery, Adams crafts an enjoyable read that progresses at a steady pace until suddenly the action explodes and pieces fall into place. One Red Shoe is a great work of fiction that’s difficult to put down. One’s attention is held all the way to a surprise ending.
