The novel was published in America in hardcover by Crown and remains in print by Picador in trade paperback. Fifteen foreign, paperback, and bookclub editions were published and the book was selected a New York Times Notable Book. ==Plot== Porter Wren is a columnist / crime reporter for a New York City newspaper. He is a popular journalist and his stories are widely read. Wren knows how to listen to people and there are people who just need to talk, especially to him. He attends an after work party hosted by the publishing magnate, where he meets for the first time, Caroline Crowley. Mrs Crowley was recently widowed by the mysterious murder of her husband, Simon Crowley. Crowley was a brilliant movie director who would often just disappear at night to videotape stuff. Crowley's body was discovered in a sealed off building that was about to be demolished. No one could figure out how the body got there. Caroline invites him to her apartment where she shows him confidential police reports related to the death of her husband. She wants Porter to investigate the murder and as an incentive seduces him even though he is married with children. What follows is a twisted tale of sex, murder and blackmail. ==Film== A movie with the same name commenced filming in 2014 starring Adrien Brody, Yvonne Strahovski, Campbell Scott and Jennifer Beals. 〔http://www.hollywood.com/movies/56826696/manhattan-nocturne〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manhattan Nocturne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
