Maggie Terry

Maggie Terry

<p>"<em>Maggie Terry</em> is the most beautiful, most bitter, most sweet, and all around best detective novel I've read in years. Precise, insightful, heartbreaking, and page turning." <strong>—Sara Gran, author of <em>The Infinite Blacktop</em></strong></p> <p>Post-rehab, Maggie Terry is single-mindedly trying to keep her head down in New York City. There's a madman in the White House, the subways are constantly delayed, summer is relentless, and neighborhoods all seem to blend together.</p> <p>Against this absurd backdrop, Maggie wants nothing more than to slowly re- build her life in hopes of being reunited with her daughter. But her first day on the job as a private investigator lands her in the middle of a sensational new case: actress strangled. If Maggie is going to solve this mystery, she'll have to shake the ghosts—dead NYPD partner, vindictive ex, steadfast drug habit—that have long ruled her life.</p> <p><strong>Sarah Schulman</strong> is a literary chronicler of the marginalized and subcultural, focusing on queer urban life. She is the author of several books, including <em>The Gentrification of the Mind, Conflict Is Not Abuse</em>, and <em>The Cosmopolitans</em>. She is Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at CUN Y, and teaches creative writing at the College of Staten Island.</p>
