Reggie Nadelson: Sex Dolls (UK 2002)

From the Publisher:
Artie Cohen's longtime girlfriend, Lily Hanes, has been found beaten up, raped and left for dead in an empty Parisian apartment. In the wintry French capital, where drugs are sold like fries at McDonalds and the hookers are trucked in with the vegetables, Artie looks for Lily's attackers and finds himself in a web of sex, death and deceit.

A brilliantly conceived plot moves Artie from Paris through Europe to Vienna and then, finally, back to his native New York on a roller-coaster ride where there is no return ticket.

'This is jazz-loving, womanising Artie's fourth outing and consolidates his position as fiction's most exciting private dick - and keeps Nadelson up there with the crime greats.' Daily Mirror

Reggie Nadelson: Sex Dolls (UK 2002)

From the Publisher:
London at midnight on New Year's Eve. Artie Cohen realizes something is horribly wrong with his long-time girlfriend, Lily Hanes. Three days later, a call takes Artie to Paris. Lily has been found beaten up and raped in an empty apartment. When she regains consciousness, she doesn't know where she is. Worse, she doesn't know Artie. In a wintry Paris, where drugs are sold like fries at McDonalds and the hookers are trucked in with the vegetables, Artie looks for Lily's attackers and finds himself in a web of sex, death and deceit. The jazz-loving, womanizing Cohen finds himself caught on the border between good and evil; on the other side he finds a place where the trade is in women, in sex slaves, prostitutes, and, worse, the men who use them. A brilliantly conceived plot moves Artie from Paris through Europe to Vienna and then, finally, back to his native New York on a roller-coaster ride on which Artie must keep moving. A thrilling page-turner but also a love story, as Artie contemplates life without Lily.
