When Nightlife Falls

Manhattan is an island of trouble for radio host Derek Hartley, with heartache and danger waiting around every corner. Lost in a swirl of the hottest men and the darkest bars, the nights are filled with adventure in the big city. 


But when he moves away from the bright lights of the metropolis, the surprises keep coming. This is what happens... When Nightlife Falls. 


Already a popular radio show host on Sirius XM, When Nightlife Falls is Hartley's second memoir about his life in New York City. Once again, he candidly explores his personal life, this time providing insight about life behind the scenes of his radio show, discussing the intimate details of his failed romances and the sordid characters he meets along the way. Filled with humor and told in his unique conversational style, When Nightlife Falls is a witty exploration of Manhattan nightlife as only Derek Hartley can tell it.
