A former University of California football player and the son of the previous mayor of Clarksville, Jimmy Rogers was once the Golden Boy who could do no wrong. He could have had it all - but instead he's ended up, at the age of thirty-three, an ordinary life insurance salesman, stuck in a dead-end job, screwing his boss's wife, with no payoff in sight. That is, until his beautiful, dangerous lover, Eve Stack, proposes that they murder her husband, and Jimmy is just desperate enough to take the chance. For a while, things are looking rosy again: The police believe Jimmy's story, Eve keeps things hot in the sex den on Love Street, and the Street of Dreams is paved with money. But then the dead man's brother gets out of jail and start to blackmail Jimmy. And he is forced to play hardball.This is unrelenting suspense, a dizzying spiral of greed, lust, and violence in a story of just how far one man is willing to go to get what he wants.
