Book Description
"Priscilla looked very frail and small in the hospital bed. Her face had scarcely more colour than the sheets. They'd pulled her long her up in a severe, tight coiffure, leaving her ears and neck naked, somehow indecent.
"Then I saw the blue bruises on her neck. For a minute I forgot my broken leg. I tried to run toward her and my cast tangled with the half-opened door. I went flat on my face with a crash, but didn't stop to see what damage had been done. I kept on toward her, first crawling, then staggering erect, AND ALL THE TIME I KNEW I WAS TOO LATE"
Take a brutally beaten body, a lonely spot on Montreal's famous mountain, and a buxom brunette, whose embrace brings treachery. Add a large dose of vicious gang warfare and a slice of underworld life. Mix these ingredients well and you have a large helping of spicy, fast-paced adventure.
