Burning City
About This Novel
"Bang!" Fireworks burst into bloom. "Bang!" A gunshot rang out. It opens with a shooting in New York in 1977. The first person to discover the victim was Mercer, a black man. He came to New York with the dream of being a writer and met the love of his life here. Mercer thought 1977 would be his year, but he didn't expect to spend his first day in the police station. William, who lives with Mercer in a cheap rental house, hides his identity as the heir of a wealthy family, makes a living by painting, hangs out in various punk bars, and lives a decadent life. William's sister, Reagan, was once the apple of her father's eye, but now she is trapped in the dilemma of losing power in the family business, her husband's financial losses, and his betrayal of the family. And husband Keith's young lover Samantha was the girl who fell in a pool of blood on New Year's Eve. The upper class, marginalized people, police, journalists, punks, artists, and motorcycle gangs all have different identities, but their fates are intertwined because of this case. Whether they like it or not, they are all drawn into the same story, desperate to exist on their own terms in the love-hate world of New York City.
