It’s summer 1968 in seedy Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island. The Doors echo from every speaker. Rook, a slick draft dodger, is chasing sensation. He lives inside acid, heat, and the blur between days. Then he finds Jimmy Chin, lifeguard by day, pusher by night. Jimmy has the power, the women, the dope, the money. No one touches him.

Rook falls in with the crew and sinks fast. Jimmy runs weight for the Jewish Mafia, and blood follows him south. Offshore, a mystery ship appears. Then the Dorchester case blows everything wide open, setting off the largest drug bust in U.S. history.

Jimmy slips the noose. Others don’t. Rook walks out, but not clean.
A bruised, explosive novel about hunger, action, and ambition that never lets up. Buckle up for the ride.
