Gotham’s Shadow: Stefanie Pintoff’s New York 1900

July 26, 2010 by Scene of the Crime | Edit

Scene of the Crime Is happy to have Edgar Award-winning author Stefanie Pintoff with us today. Stefanie is the author of a historical mystery series featuring
Detective Simon Ziele where early criminal science meets the dark side
of old New York. Her debut novel, In the Shadow of Gotham, won
the coveted Edgar for best first novel as well as the St. Martin’s
Press / Mystery Writers of America Best First Crime Novel Award. That
first novel also earned nominations for the Anthony, Agatha, and RT
Reviewer’s Choice Awards and raves from reviewers. A starred review
from Library Journal praised her “vividly depicted turn-of-the-century Gotham,” while Publishers Weekly,
in another starred review, declared “Pintoff’s debut … will remind many
of Caleb Carr at his best… The period detail, characterizations and
plotting are all top-notch, and Ziele has enough depth to carry a
series.”
