About this audiobook
Manhattan’s East Village, 1993. Dive bars, DIY music venues, shady weirdos, and hard drugs are plentiful. Crime is high but rent is low, luring hopeful, creative kids from sleepy suburbs around the country.
One of these is Jack S., a young New Jersey rock musician. Just a few days before his band’s biggest gig, their lead singer goes missing with Jack’s prized bass, presumably to hock it to feed his junk habit. Jack’s search for his buddy uncovers a sinister entanglement of crimes tied to local real estate barons looking to remake New York City—and who might also be connected to the recent death of Jack’s punk rock mentor. Along the way, Jack encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a bewitching, quick-witted scenester who favors dressing in a nurse’s outfit, a monstrous hired killer with a devotion to both figure skating and edged weapons, a deranged if prophetic postwar novelist, and a tough-talking cop who fancies himself a retro-cool icon of the homicide squad but is harboring a surprising secret.
No One Left to Come Looking for You is a page-turning suspense novel that also serves as a love letter to a bygone era of New York City where young artists could still afford to chase their dreams.
Editor's Note
Rock ‘n’ roll mystery…
The latest by Lipsyte (“Hark”) follows a young rock musician in the East Village who becomes embroiled in a mystery after a bandmate steals his bass guitar for drug money. Before long, petty theft is nothing compared to murder and mayhem involving a shifty real estate tycoon. The result is a lively adventure made more entertaining by the grungy 1990s setting rife with sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.

www.give2those.org/profile/slottergacor/profile - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fun and witty story about the things that define us love, friendship, loyalty grit and Punk rock. Eclectic characters that weave together beautifully who we were, what we are and who we aspire to become.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Never in a million years did I think I would like this as much as I did!
This is a very strange book. As foreign as fantasy to me as I have zero commonality with the characters. There was never a moment when I thought, “Yes, I know how that feels.” Because the 1993 New York sex, drugs & rockin’ roll scene is not relatable or appealing to me at all. I would never like to hangout with these people in real life, it would be too revolting.
And with all that said, I thought this book was fantastic entertainment!
The book is all dialogue and conversations between Jonathan and those around him. It reminded me of Elmore Leonard’s writing, which is a big compliment. The pop culture, friendships and pursuit of dreams kept me hooked. And the mystery of the missing bass. Because the reveal of the “bad guy” was simply perfect.
