CHASERS is a sequel to APACHES, a NY Times bestseller that was published in 1997 and continues the adventures of the surviving members of a disabled unit of NYPD detectives. The three original members still standing from that first novel are joined in CHASERS by three new ones (including a very cool and disabled K-9) as they seek to avenge the murder of a young woman in a restaurant shooting spree.
The first novel was set in 1982 when crack first hit the streets. This one is set in 1985 when AIDS started to rip its way through cities big and small and when the Russian Mob and the South American drug bands decided to make the city of New York a prime-target beach head.
Lorenzo Carcaterra has written seven books, feature scripts for Barry Levinson, Joe Roth and Robert Lawrence, among others, and worked as managing editor for the CBS series, TOP COPS and was a writer/producer for LAW & ORDER. He has written about half-a-dozen TV pilots and got to see one of them, THE FORCE, get made. He published four short stories (including an APACHES short story in this month's issue of THE STRAND MYSTERY MAGAZINE) and have written one video game (Atari/Eden's ALONE IN THE DARK, due out later this year).
