Chicky Diaz is everyone's favourite doorman at the Bohemia, New York City's world-famous apartment block, housing celebrities, financiers and the cultural elite.

Gathered in the Bohemia's basement, the almost entirely Black and Hispanic staff is reeling. Just a few miles away, a Black man has been killed by the police, leading to a long night of violence across the city.

But the rising tensions aren't what most concern Chicky. He knows that there's more going on within the rooms of the Bohemia than anyone's aware of. In fact, ahead of tonight's shift, he bought a gun even before he knew of the rising pandemonium.

Tonight, enemies will clash, loyalties will be tested, secrets will be revealed – and lives will be lost.

New York City is a tinderbox – just one more spark and it will go up in flames…

A pulse-pounding, ticking-clock thriller about a city set to boil over, exploring themes of class, privilege, sex, and murder, from the New York Times bestselling author of Two Nights in Lisbon and The Expats.
