One of the books I read off the NYT best 100 for 2008
was a book called Lush Life.

It was a wonderfully dense book set in the shadow of one of the bridges out of Manhattan. There is a crime, the over reaction to that crime, the people who take advantage, the cops who got it wrong and then get it right...

It's just a marvelous tapestry of a diverse section of New York City...

2. The author is Richard Price...
I think NYC is a great tableau because of the city's diverse nature...
