A poorly paid private detective living in New York City in a tenement flat without water or a bathroom, he is a recent immigrant from Ireland who only wants to earn enough money to bring his fiancée over from Ireland. When the daughter of a wealthy real estate developer is kidnapped from her Manhattan apartment, the police can't find her. And when a $50,000 ransom is demanded, the girl's father fears she'll be killed if he pays - or if he doesn't. Finding her quickly is critical, so Nolan is hired. As the story proceeds, it takes in police bribery, Sing Sing prison, the Black Hand, racist stevedores on the waterfront, a biplane pursuit of the kidnapper, Matisse, German submarines, a gun battle in the Tenderloin, Enrico Caruso, and finally a deadly chase on the tracks beneath Grand Central Terminal when the identity of the person behind the kidnapping - as well as the fate of the girl - is revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eREVIEWS for THE DUTTON GIRL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Deftly entertaining . . .

Interesting and believable.\" - READER VIEWS\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"(John Nolan has) the quiet, self-possessed demeanor of a star detective with an understated talent for his craft and an appealing habit for being right when others are wrong. His slow, methodical investigation is fun to witness . . . Competently crafted, with a bevy of suspicious characters and a pleasing variety of bum leads . . . However, the most compelling aspect of the book is not who took a spoiled heiress or even Nolan himself, but, rather, how rich, poor, and working-class New Yorkers lived and interacted in the World War I era.\" - MANHATTAN BOOK REVIEW\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 16, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53744537370931,"sku":"9781734438406","price":29.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/x3dw-nfwPv9781734438406.webp?v=1785235117","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-dutton-girl-a-john-nolan-detective-novel-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
