The Timothy Files

Copyright: 1987

The hard-boiled private eye is back with a vengeance, as created by the man who made Sin a household word.

In the Lawrence Sanders version, his name is Timothy Cone, a Vietnam vet who's an operative for a Wall Street detective firm that checks out companies with whom their clients are contemplating big business deals. Timothy's a very determined kind of guy, with a highly evolved sense of justice and a nose for a scam, even in the most refined circles: Without exception, every one of his most routine investigations results in big-time trouble.

There's the millionaire real estate development clan that numbers among its private pastimes incest, drug addiction, and quite possibly murder.

And the fertility clinic that specializes in creating life and, Timothy suspects, violent death.

And the bizarre bunch of Middle Eastern rogues who's enterprises range from investment firms to art galleries, each one more shady, and more treacherous, than the last.

From the canyons of Wall Street to the plush boutiques of upper Madison Avenue, from dingy SoHo lofts to stately Fifth Avenue parlors -- Timothy and his band, including tireless cops, eccentric associates, and his tough-and-tender ladylove, Sam, stake out evil and run it to the ground -- in three baffling cases as infernally clever as they are totally engrossing.

Timothy Cone is the sort of very human, very brilliant dick only the author of The Fourth Deadly Sin could have created, and The Timothy Files is no-holds-barred suspense of an order that has made Lawrence Sanders a bestselling author, time and time again.
