William Kane, a Vietnam veteran working as a fixer in 1970s New York City, finds himself embroiled in dangerous situations. When he discovers a body under Hell Gate Bridge, it leads him into a dark underworld beneath the city where murders are being committed. As Kane investigates, he realizes the crimes are connected to powerful people looking to keep secrets hidden. Meanwhile, Kane faces threats from the mob, CIA, and IRA seeking revenge for his past actions.

2. Walk on the Wild Side
A BLOOD DEBT MUST BE PAID WITH BLOOD
This is the message pinned to Will Kane’s door with a
Bowie knife. And it doesn’t take long before the first of
the Hard Flint Brothers arrives to make good on the
threat.
Kane barely escapes with his life, but things go downhill
from there, with five more Brothers having sworn to take
his life in vengeance for his killing of one of their own.

3. Walk on the Wild Side
Then there are the women in his life:
Caitlyn, a mysterious woman who has several identities
and knows more about Kane than she should. Who does
she work for? What does she really want from him?
Sofia Cappucci, daughter of a mob family boss who has
higher aspirations and wants Kane’s help in achieving
them, whether he’s willing or not. She has him
negotiating with Roy Cohn, infamous criminal lawyer.
Toni Marcelle, the sister of his West Point room-mate and
Ranger Buddy. She has her own set of problems.

4. Walk on the Wild Side
But lurking behind it all, Kane is beginning to feel the
presence of something bigger, an organization more
secret than the CIA or FBI. One that has ties stretching
back to World War II and involves the highest levels of
power and seems particularly interested in him.
Kirkus Reviews: “Sinewy writing enhances this already
potent action fix. An adrenaline cocktail from start to
finish.”

Center loom over the skyline. Son of Sam. Star Wars. Studio 54. The Five Families. The city
faces bankruptcy and unrest seethes. On the dark streets of a city the rest of the country
believes is going down the toilet, Vietnam vet Kane’s life mirrors his hometown.
Kane has been working as a ‘fixer’ for a high-priced lawyer since returning to New York in
disgrace. But is he really fixing anything?
It begins when he takes a compromising picture as part of the job. As the long hot summer
boils, so does Kane as the mob, the CIA, the IRA, and other forces are brought to bear on
him. What they all seem to have forgotten, and Kane wishes he could, is that he is a highly
trained and experienced warrior. A skilled killer.
What should a good man do when faced with the evil that the law can't touch?
On 13 July 1977, the Blackout occurs and Kane explodes.

particular brand of justice.
