About The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster

Paul Auster’s The New York Trilogy brings together three interconnected detective novels: City of Glass, Ghosts and The Locked Room. Written with the pace of a thriller, the collection builds its mysteries around elusive cases, surveillance and disappearance in New York.
