Book Title?

Question

I'm looking for the title of a book, the problem is I have not idea what the name of the author is. All I can say is that this book was published in the late 90's, that the critics were pretty good at that time (claiming it was among the 10 best books of the decade) and that, on the cover, you can see the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and, if my memories are good, a bird flying in between...

Thx For your help.

Of coure, the story takes place in NYC...

Answer 1

That's not a bird!

It could be this book:

Twin Towers:: The Life of New York City's Trade Center by Angus Kress Gillespie
