He sold their bodies — and his soul...

In the cutthroat world of organized crime, Tony Romero is headed straight for the top. His territory: the brothels of San Francisco. But his path is littered with bodies and broken dreams — some of them his — in this classic novel available for the first time in more than 40 years.
