About this ebook
In 1980s New York, a ruthless couple rockets up the corporate ladder
Tommy is waiting in the bushes when the woman comes home crying. He unlocks the door and pads through the darkened house as he has done so many times in the past. He finds her upstairs in her nightgown, half asleep but not surprised to see him—until he pulls out the gun. She is not afraid. She dares him to shoot. It would not be the first time she has convinced him to commit a crime.
Tommy met Kitty Goldmark at Tavern on the Green, at a company holiday party for New York’s least scrupulous millionaires. Recently divorced and professionally adrift, Tommy could not help but be seduced by this gorgeous young widow. She brought him into a world of erotic passion, paid for by the sort of crime found only on Wall Street.
