Murder is trending. Hipsters are getting slashed to pieces in the hippest neighbourhood in New York City: Williamsburg, Brooklyn. While Detectives Petrosino and Hadid hound local gangbangers, slacker reporter Tony Moran and his ex, Magaly Fernandez, get caught up in a missing person's case - one that might just get them hacked to death. Filled with a cast of colourful characters and told with sardonic wit, this novel plays out against a backdrop of rapid gentrification, skyrocketing rents and class tension.
