... And then a third tragedy occurs. Kid is found sprawled on the pavement after plunging twenty stoies to his death.
Jack refuses to accept the police theory of suicide. Convince that one of Kid's women is the a killer, he finds himself searching for answers in Kid's world, a world of lap dancing, and after hours clubs, of drugs and violence and overwhelming sensuality.

Had been holding this for a book box, but it seems to have never been started or something. The perons in charge has not returned my emails, and its been 8months or closer to a year since it was supposed to began. Anyways, plan to pass it on soon.

Edit October 31, 2012: Wow, this one could have been a really great thriller. Except that it completely falls apart, as far as continuity with the beginning of the story, and the ending was predictable, just by process of elimination. Aside from the fact that the back cover gives away a HUGE plot development, repeated above here. But what about the beginning of the story??? No tie-in whatsoever, how utterly disappointing. Aside from that, the plot was fast-paced and enjoyable to read, a page-turner. But some big, big holes, in the end, which made no sense at all (why in the world did the perp break the window, and how did the perp get past the doorman, and why did the doorman not ever notice that the cop never came back down???) Maybe the editor screwed it up, by trying to tighten up the story or something.
