Young and nonconformist Rune works in a video store in Greenwich Village and strikes up a friendship with an elderly customer whose only habit is to watch an old movie over and over. When the man turns up murdered, Rune believes the key to his death lies in the black-and-white frames of that film and embarks on a private investigation through an unusual New York, in a classic noir atmosphere.
First installment of the series featuring Rune, originally published in 1988 as «Manhattan Is My Beat».
