Across town, in a luxurious high rise, a handsome young man has just been found dead and mutilated.
Now Vince Cardoza, a dedicated New York cop, wants to expose the truth about Babe's coma and the murdered love slave. It means entering the world of America's wealthiest men and women and finding out just how the rich and famous live....and die.

As Stewart says, on the back of the title page of this novel, all the characters are fictional. The mix of names that are so similar to real names, and events that parallel the time of the novel, give it a seemingly factual background. The behaviors of the actors, most of whom are only-in-a-dream-could-this-be-true rich, are possible and perhaps even probable.

I would like to think that certain scenes from the book are only possible in NYC. Who knows? The writing is graphic, so well done that you can visualize those scenes in your mind. This book is not for the faint of heart.

I just couldn't put it down.
