Book Description:
From Bookmarks Magazine
Harrison won legions of fans with his previous novels Afterburn (2000) and Manhattan Nocturne (1997), and his new novel promises not to disappoint. The suspenseful plot, film noir atmosphere, and unique details like hallucinogenic sushi will keep readers actively engaged. What's more, in Bill Wyeth, Harrison has created a character with a lot to lose -- his family, career, and sanity, for starters -- and his plight provides an emotional backdrop to the chases and killings. A few naysayers found that the thrill wore off, that Harrison displayed a tendency to overwrite, and that he sometimes stretched the limits of plausibility. For the most part, however, critics were drawn into both the internal and external drama of Wyeth's life, and cheered him on his search for redemption.

Bill Wyeth is a rising real estate attorney living the lofty heights of success. Then a tragic accident claims everything he has - family, fortune, his Park Ave. apt. and his career. But this is Manhattan. Bill has much further to fall. And tonight, it's by invitation only. Terrifying but hugely entertaining.
Lorrie M. (A high-powered New York attorney loses his wife, son, and career after a tragic accident occurs at his home. He becomes somewhat of a hermit, his only contact with others comes in the form of meal times taken at a steakhouse. But at the back of this restaurant is a lounge to which people are admitted by the manager's invitation only. Bill becomes involved with the beautiful manager and with the strange events that occur when he is invited into the lounge.
A very interesting book. The story is somewhat strange, especially when you learn what goes on in the exclusive Havana Room, but an entertaining story altogether. Lots of mysterious elements combine for a good read.
