NEW YORK CITY:
“It's a hell of a town
There's smoke coming up through the
holes in the ground.
It's a hell of a town.
Plenty of devils for taking you down.
Any time of night and day.”
Joe Jackson
3. Hell of a Town
Former Green Beret Will Kane is torn between his
desire for a quiet life and the urge for justice.
Especially for those the system overlooks and
cares nothing about.
He has undiagnosed Aspergers, like many creative
people in the arts. Except his art is death.
And he’s very, very good at it.
4. Since returning to New York City after two tours in
Vietnam and lost years in the Far East, he’s dealt with
the Irish and Italian mobs; the IRA; a rogue Navajo drug
running ring and assorted other nefarious characters
including Roy Cohn, an infamous fixer in the city.
He’s worked with the daughter of a mob boss who has
her own aspirations.
Also with an enigmatic female assassin from the most
covert government agency, The Cellar.
But now?
Hell of a Town
5. There are over 10,000 miles of tunnels beneath New
York City.
No one knows the full extent of the labyrinth. It's a world
unto itself. People, mostly homeless, have made inroads
to the more accessible parts for shelter. But there are
others who prowl the darkness for their own evil reasons.

8. He learns this isn't an isolated incident and that murders
are being committed in horrendous ways; and that seem
to be just the tip of the iceberg than can be seen. The
police, not able to control the streets above, care little
about what’s below and the missing. It's up to Kane to
find out who is behind this. And as he literally digs
deeper, he realizes it reaches to the highest levels of
New York City.
Hell of a Town
9. As Kane peels back the layers on an elaborate
conspiracy of twisted murder, a young girl, Jules, is in a
battle for her life.
She is one of the tributes caught in the underground
labyrinth where the rich and powerful play with lives.
As Kane learns the truth, he realizes he’s in a race
against time to save lives; but he’s also up against one of
the most powerful men in the history of New York City.
Who will prevail?
