THE STORY When his daughter is found dead in a Binghamton rail yard and the police treat it like a cold case, Bill Cooper hires the one man who can figure out what happened - Rick Crane. But as the Upstate New York private eye digs into the case, everyone tells him to "let it go." Crane doesn't, and soon discovers that the death of COOPER'S DAUGHTER was about much more than the murder of one wild young woman. THE AUTHOR Mark Yost has written for THE WALL STREET JOURNAL’s Leisure and Arts page and Book Review section for more than 20 years. He and his son, George, live in Houston, Texas, but call the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, N.Y. “home.”
