A tough and lusty novel that moves with the white-heat of a lighting bolt!

Johnny Reagan quickly learned the slum’s depraved rules for survival.

At six, he was a petty thief. At twelve, he was a procurer. At twenty-one, he was a respectable, loveable, 18-carat heel who never missed a trick—especially if she promised an evening’s cheap thrills.

Then rich Mr. Connors befriended Johnny, and Johnny knew there was big money to be made—if he pulled the right strings, told the right lies, and played around with the right women.

But Johnny played with Julie...Julie who had been brought up in the same slum that had spawned Johnny—and who knew all the cute gutter tricks Johnny thought were his exclusive property … plus a few female tricks all her own.
