Book Description

August 5, 1987
Taut and grittily realistic, this explosive novel of deceit and revenge weaves a suspenseful tale of a man who built his career on his ability to cover up the past, and of the woman who made it her business to expose it. From the author of The Corsican. Reissued in anticipation of the sales of Heffernan's forthcoming hardcover, Ritual.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

When reporter Jennifer Brady decides to do an in-depth story on handsome labor leader Tony Marco, she leans toward the positive. The deeper she delves, the more complex the story becomes and the less she trusts Marco: there is Marco and his best friend, cop Pete Moran, whom he betrayed; violence and corruption in the union; a group of plotting union officials; a high society mistress; and a wife who is a nymphomaniac. The book climaxes with a kidnapping, more betrayal, and a bloody shootout. The author's background touches lend solid texture to a fast-moving narrative that is exciting and occasionally moving. Robert H. Donahugh, Youngstown and Mahoning Cty. P.L., Ohio
