"The problem with Alex Nicholas is that he won't stay dead. The nervous kid from South Carolina was out of place in the Whitestone restaurant where off-duty cops in leather jackets rubbed elbows with wise guys in imported silk, the scotch flowed and beautiful women left a trail of perfume. No one noticed just how out of place he was until he leveled the silver barrel of an automatic and pulled the trigger. Alex Nichols was the consummate Queens bookie: fast cars and faster women, and friends in all the wrong places. As the head of a lucrative illegal sports betting and loan sharking operation in New York City, Alex was fearless - until the night his luck ran out and stained the carpet at Grimaldi's. His dying hope is for his brother to find what he left behind. Michael Nicholas is everything his brother Alex was not. A powerful, straight-arrow corporate CEO living the American dream in Westport, Connecticut, Michale has made himself a stranger to the dark underworld that is his brother's life."--Dust jacket flap
