Dedicaton

I'd like to dedicate this book to Cathy Spangler, who was a big part of Nick’s Baby; and to the people of Hell’s Kitchen, who wrote to me personally about their city, their feelings, and helped to make Nick Leonetti what he is in this book!

Thank you all!!!

Chapter One

Nick Leonetti eyed the people around him with a sense of impending doom. He adjusted his tie several times, feeling like a man at the gallows about to be hung. He hated ties. Whoever invented them must have had a sadistic mind he decided with a quick jerk on the knot. He glanced at his shoes and saw his reflection. “This is definitely not the Nick Leonetti I know,” he grumbled to himself.
