Thatperfect time, that fleeting hour of enchanted light near dusk and dawn that isperfect for moviemaking, perfect for making love. Perfect for murder. And into the magichour steps Stephen Brady, wise guy, tough guy, local farm boy turned homicidecop, and a good man with a very bad life.
But just as his luck is about tochange, the rich, gifted, and urbane filmmaker Sy Spencer is murdered, andBrady discovers that his prime suspect is a woman he and the victim shared. A spellbindingmystery, a scathing social satire and a poignant love story, Magic Hour looksbeyond the trendy magazine-cover Hamptons' world of the summer set'shigh-cheekboned elegance and the locals' down-on-the-farm authenticity into thehearts of real people.
