A Finalist in the 2023 Readers’ Choice Book Awards!
A shadow of a being, war veteran Paul Stevenson moves through New York City without purpose.
When the blood spatter from a fellow subway rider and thousands of dollars’ worth of cocaine fall to Paul’s feet, he is forced to open his eyes to a new reality: the world of sex, crime, and drugs that is 1970’s Manhattan-the life in which Paul has suddenly become a main character.
Is there any light in the future of the Big Apple? Or will Paul succumb to the dark shadow of organized crime that encamps the greatest city in the world?
