“A rich, intriguing and nuanced novel — intense, insightful and authentic.”
A body floating in the Harlem River. A phone call asking for help. A call that leads government lawyer Devlin Wolfe into the murky world of dark money and Wall Street, and behind the scenes of the glittering Metropolitan Opera where everything is seemingly linked together — the murder of a top financial figure, the laundering of illegal funds into a political campaign and two otherworldly divas battling it out for supremacy in a new production the press has taken to calling the “Haunted Aida.”
Against the setting of the coldest Manhattan winter anyone could remember, so cold that snowflakes scattered like dust and didn’t even melt in the full light of day, he must find answers…
“The rarified worlds of high finance and grand opera collide in this complex murder mystery…Michael Jeffery Blair, the author of Sudden Rivers (2014), writes a novel that exudes a palpable rage against dark money and ruthless puppet masters in pursuit of power. A worthwhile investment for those interested in whodunits, social justice, and the work of Giuseppe Verdi.” – Kirkus Review
“Blair’s novel features twin plotlines that are exciting and feel wholly original. His prose is vivid and lyrical while characters are expertly drawn and multidimensional. Readers will tear through ‘The Labyrinth in Winter’ to learn more about their relationships and origins. The author is particularly adept at describing the beauty and importance of art.” – Book Life/Publishers Weekly
“A dead body found leads Devlin on a hunt for the murderer shrouded in enigma. With a stabbing intensity and glowering atmosphere this is a crime novel with huge attitude. An atmospheric tale built on strong characterization. Highly recommended.” – Lynn Beck / The Washington Post
“I enjoyed this complex mystery featuring the world of high finance in Manhattan. The atmospheric setting of winter on the East Coast was very fun to experience through the authors descriptions. The characters were well crafted to the story. Visiting the world of high finance featured here as its own character is exciting to read. The sleuth was interesting and brilliantly paced to keep every reader turning pages. I highly recommend this book for all readers that enjoy a complex sleuth.” – Cozy Book Reviews
