“Gate 76” by Andrew Diamond is a modern thriller with a classic noir feel. Freddy Ferguson, A private detective with a dark and troubled past, notices a suspicious woman at San Francisco International airport. When the plane that lists her on the passenger manifest explodes, killing everyone on board, he resolves to find answers. The case mesmerizes the nation, and Freddy works to discover the truth. In the process, he uncovers corrupt politicians, dirty cops, and past secrets.
Diamond creates a complex tale with slow suspense, plot twists, and cliffhanger moments. The characters are numerous (almost too many) including the good, the not so good, and the ones who might be both.
I received a copy of “Gate 76” from Andrew Diamond, Stolen Time Press, and Net Galley. I recommend it for readers who want the old noir feel in a current setting. I am not usually a reader of noir, either classic or current, so it is hard for me to accurately rate a book of this genre, but I liked “Gate 76.” It has the elements of a good story, and the mixed chapter length gives readers needed breaks from the drama.
