Twisted City

From the internationally bestselling author of The Next Time I Die and Cold Caller comes a classic New York noir thriller.

Times are tough. They’re about to get worse.

David Miller is a journalist stuck at a second-rate financial magazine. He hates his boss, resents supporting his girlfriend’s partying lifestyle, and is still reeling from the death of his sister. He’s already at the breaking point—then he makes one small mistake.

After losing his wallet in a Midtown bar, David finds himself blackmailed by junkies, lying to his family and friends, and stumbling into a criminal nightmare he barely understands. As desperation mounts, David is pulled deeper into a twisted web of betrayal, addiction, and moral compromise—one wrong decision after another, each more dangerous than the last.

Set in the underbelly of New York City, Twisted City is a dark psychological crime novel about grief, guilt, and the slow erosion of decency, told with Jason Starr’s trademark intensity, razor-sharp dialogue, and relentless momentum.
