"What's one cop gonna do against a rigged system? Sleepless City answers that question in a blaze of pace, action, suspense, and intrigue, all underpinned by thoughtful moral questions and a truly great new character in Nick Ryan. Coleman is a noir grandmaster and I hope this series runs forever."

"Reed Farrel Coleman's Sleepless City is a tour-de-force! The pace is relentless, the plot smart, his new lead character Nick Ryan is a hero for the times. Flawed and decent. A wonderful creation.

"Unless you doze on roller coasters, there's no napping through Reed Farrel Coleman's thriller, Sleepless City. The plentiful plot twists and turns--more like ricochets--from breathless start to satisfying finish, and careen across a New York landscape Coleman renders like no one else. At least as surprising as the story twists, though, is its protagonist, Nick Ryan. He ticks all the action hero boxes--tough, brave, resourceful, relentless, but because he's a Coleman character he has a core of intelligence, humanity, and vulnerability that make him great company over a single malt, a car chase, or a new series."

"Sleepless City is magnificent in every way. A book you can't put down, won't forget, and must not miss!"

"Hardboiled master Reed Farrel Coleman has returned and his latest, Sleepless City, shudders with gritty intensity.

"By turns, thrilling, threatening, and tender, Sleepless City reminds us why Reed Farrel Coleman is one of the most admired and respected crime-and-mystery writers of his generation. In Nick Ryan, he introduces us to a complex crime fighter with a tarnished badge who patrols the dark and glorious streets of New York, dispensing his brand of justice in a manner that forces us to ask: Is he on our side? Coleman's compelling novel is both classic noir and a reflection of these treacherous modern times--and one worthy of his award-winning talents."

"Once again, Reed Farrel Coleman takes you on a rollercoaster ride in Sleepless City. Imprinting his tattoo of 'noir poetry' on hero/anti-hero Nick Ryan, Reed knocks it out of the park with edge-of-your-seat suspense from first paragraph to last. Also, how can you not love a Brooklyn author who writes Totonno's and Spumoni Gardens into his story? Five stars--no questions asked."

"A razor-sharp NYC thriller from a writer who knows the territory. Nick Ryan is a new breed of hero, working the dark and deadly of a city on edge."

"In Nick Ryan, Coleman gives us his most hardboiled character yet--and one of his most clear-eyed and compassionate. Coleman's prose, as always, is musical and taut, his plot complex and satisfying, and there's never a moment violence, either the opportunity for it, or the necessity of it, is approached without ambivalence. Hardboiled literature is about people being forced to make impossible choices. Coleman and Ryan acquit themselves with honor."

"From the cemeteries and pizza joints to the synagogues and housing projects, Sleepless City is New York to the bone. The atmosphere bleeds through the page. Nick Ryan is a hell of a character, an embattled and resilient guide. Coleman's prose hits like a wrecking ball, and this is his best and gutsiest book yet. A marvel of pacing and tension. I only wish Sidney Lumet were still around to adapt it.'"

"Sleepless City is a dark read with edge-of-your-seat pacing and winding twists and turns that hold your attention without fail. It's a genuine story of how good and evil can sometimes balance on a thin line, and how it's the little actions that sometimes tip the scales."
