The day of the dead

"Jack Valentine thinks he's finished with the covert life but it hasn't finished with him. An old friend's daughter, Alva Casagrande, has been sucked into what looks like a minor league Manhattan heroin vortex and Jeack is persuaded to go there to pull her out. Simple enough, until the old friend is fighting for his life courtesy of a pound of Semtex in the wheel-arch of his car. Two days later Jack is in New York, calling on old friendships and provoking ancient hatreds. He soon realises the little Mexican girl's partner is as wealthy and hard-wired as they come and that his friend's daughter carries a hard punch herself."
