Cold City

$25 · Offered by Gauntlet Press

COLD CITY kicks off The Early Years Trilogy. It’s 1990. A twenty-one-year old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in NYC. This is pre-Disney Manhattan and the city still has lots of rough edges. He has connected with Abe but is unaware of his real business. He will soon meet Julio but doesn t own a gun yet. He runs afoul of some machete-wielding Dominicans, hires on as a driver for a smuggler, wanders into the East Side Marriott the night Rabbi Kahane is killed, winds up on the wrong side of some jihadist Arabs, and disrupts a ring smuggling pre-teen sex slaves. And that s just Book One. Cold City provides fascinating insights into the early life of a legendary character. While delving into these previously only hinted at episodes Watching the pieces of the puzzle that is Jack’s life and career come together is well worth the ride. I encourage readers to hop aboard that train. Russ Madden, The Cold, Hard Truth
