Jacoby's a retired subway cop living in Co-op City, missing dead wife Bea, bored with retirement, hanging out at Mount Vernon Raceway. And he narrates in an utterly engaging blend of second-generation Hammett/Chandler and second-generation New York/Jewish--very low-key, uneffort-fully funny, natural and lean and authentic. His case: he bumps into and is hired by a naive Westchester teenager to find a runaway girlfriend; she soon turns up dead, one in a series of young-girl victims. Among the many familiar lines of inquiry: a local doctor who's been playing daddy to kids with problems; the doc's connection with horse-racing and hoods; the doc's angry wife and son; a nurse who may be heading a teen-prostitute ring.
