This new US edition introduces Lennox—a hard man in a hard place at a hard time. The first in an award-winning series published in twelve languages around the world, LENNOX is classic noir cut to the bone. Damaged by war and out of place in peacetime, Lennox is a hard-drinking, womanizing, occasionally thuggish private investigator working both sides of the law. With corrupt cops on one side and the "Three Kings"—the crime lords who run everything in the city—on the other, Lennox finds himself dragged deeper into a conspiracy that involves people he thought he'd left in his past. But it's his present that concerns him most—when he becomes a murder suspect. It's a race against time to prove himself innocent and keep one step ahead of the police, the gangsters—and others who are much, much more deadly. “Lennox is a crime story that transcends the genre. Craig Russell brilliantly uses the character of his tough, funny and hopeful man Lennox to give us the eyes and ears on a time and place. This is storytelling at its very best!” Michael Connelly
