A standalone from one of England's best-loved literary thriller
writers, regularly compared to John Le Carre and Philip Kerr, Sweet
Sunday takes the reader back to the hot, sweaty summer of 1969, the
American summer in the American year in the American century.
Turner Raines isn't a typical New York private eye. He's a
has-been--among the things he has been are a broken Civil Rights
worker, a second-rate lawyer, and a tenth-rate journalist. But in
1969, as the USA is about to land a man on the moon, and the
Vietnam War is set to continue to rip the country to pieces, Raines
is working as a private detective helping draft-dodgers make it to
Canada. As Norman Mailer finalizes his campaign for Mayor of New
York, Raines leaves for Toronto, and by the time Raines gets back,
his oldest friend is dead, the city has changed forever, and with
it, his life. As Raines follows the trail of his friend's death, he
finds himself blasted back to the Texas of his childhood,
confronted anew with his divided family, and blown into the path of
certain people who know about secret goings-on in Vietnam, stories
they may now be willing to tell.
