Overview

From Emmy-nominated screenwriter Gordon Greisman, The Devil's Daughter is a noir thriller full of the best--and worst--of New York City in the 1950s. Most nights PI Jack Coffey can be found hanging out in smoky Greenwich Village jazz clubs with well-known mobsters, jazzmen, and hoods. So, when an uptown financier calls him in for a job, it seems like he's headed for tonier climes. But it turns out the view from Louis Garrett's fancy penthouse looks over the same vice-ridden Manhattan streets, which explains why he's so desperate to find his missing teenage daughter, Lucy. When Jack's search for Lucy leads him to swanky nightclubs packed with well-dressed pimps and wealthy drug dealers, he begins to wonder if Garrett is really so concerned about his daughter's welfare, or if the man simply fears she may reveal his own shocking secrets. After an attack outside Jack's own apartment and Lucy's boyfriend turns up face down in the Hudson River, everything kicks into high gear. But death threats, crooked cops, lies, and ugly truths can't prevent Jack from finishing the job--whether Lucy is an angel or a devil, she's still a kid in danger, and Jack will do whatever it takes to find her.
