Description: Nathan Stein, the son and partner of a corrupt and powerful New York criminal lawyer, was once brilliant, beautiful, cultured, and sensitive. Now, on his way to one more shady deal, he wanders the wintry wastes of Coney Island; sick in body and soul, nervously checking his pager and ignoring its clamor. His career and life careening out of control, Nathan knows he is running out of time.

What he does not know is that he's about to become the prime suspect in the murder of his secretary and paramour, Isabel Santos.
