Against

the sinister backdrop of New York’s fringe world—its dank alleys, creepy bars

and grime laden cold flats, this fiercely exciting drama of mauled and twisted

lives moves to its terror-packed climax!

 Wallie Kroll, a quack doctor, lived a

cringing, drink-cadging existence, until he discovered there was money in dope.

But every knock on his door was terrorizing—was it just another agonized soul willing

to pay high for the deadly pain killer Wallie called a “prescription”—or was it

the police… or worse…

 Carla was one of the victims whose screaming

nerves had driven her to Wallie’s door. Her wealthy husband abandoned, her

pride and beauty shattered, she flung her tormented body through the menacing

streets to the final blinding moment of engulfing horror.

 This is a

spellbinding novel of five people linked by the city’s strange ties, forced by

macabre twists of fate into a nightmare world from which the only escape was

death.
