This is a paperback that I bought at the Rochester Book Sale in 2023. I bought a bag of books for five bucks. Finished Su 4/23/23 and refinished on Su 3/8/26.
The story involves a young woman who works at a video store in NY city. She went to a man's apartment to pick up a video and the man had been murdered. It's a cute story with lots of twists.
From AI Overview:
"Manhattan Is My Beat (1988) by Jeffery Deaver is the first book in the Rune trilogy, featuring a 20-year-old punk-styled amateur sleuth who works in a NYC video store. When her favorite customer is murdered, she investigates, believing a classic film noir holds the clue to a stolen fortune.
Rune is described as smart, witty, street-wise, and obsessed with old films, making her an unconventional heroine.
Plot: Following the murder of elderly customer Mr. Kelly, Rune uncovers a connection between his death and a real-life, unsolved bank robbery, drawing her into a dangerous investigation."
