Good Girl Bad Girl - Alex Novalis Author:Christopher Finch In May of 1968, New York City is broke and on the skids, and private eye Alex Novalis is hard up for gigs.

Though she?s presumed to be with Jerry Pedrosian, the radical middle-aged artist and... more » known womanizer she?d been sleeping with, there are few clues. Information is hard to come by; everyone seems to be hiding something. And then there?s Andrea Marshall, Lydia?s miniskirted and vinyl-booted best friend, who Novalis is deeply distrustful of?and unfortunately attracted to. But as Novalis traverses the city, tracking Lydia from scummy artists? lofts in pre-gentrified SoHo to luxury penthouses overlooking Central Park, he?ll face threats deadlier than any he signed on for. Smart and sophisticated, Good Girl, Bad Girl provides a rare, fascinating snapshot of late 1960s New York City?a glimpse into the forbidden sex, politics, art, drugs, and counterculture violence that ran rampant in its once gloriously gritty streets.« less
