In this superbly crafted DC noir, hard-drinking Nick Stefanos is hired to find a friend's missing wife--if he doesn't hit rock bottom first.
Nick Stefanos has given up his job in sales to tend bar at the Spot, where drinks and women are both a bit too easily available, and the routine is starting to feel as dead-end as his last gig.
But things are about to change.
First, his high-school friend Billy Goodrich asks him to find his wife April, who he says left him for small-time crime boss Joey Di Geordano.
In fact, April has taken off with hog farmer/bondage freak Tommy Crane and, it turns out, with $200, 000 of Di Geordano family money.
There are powerful enemies on her trail--and now on Nick's trail, too.
