Reed Farrel Coleman is one of my all time favorite writers. It had been awhile since he had a book out, but he came back with a vengeance and new direction with Sleepless City. The book injects Reed’s lyrical prose style, emotional mediations, and Lou Reed take on New York into the Jack Reacher style hero novel with Nick Ryan as cop who works as a special fixer for the city’s mayor office. Reed was kind enough to take some time to discuss the character and changes in his fiction.
