I'm a twenty-seven year old private investigator working out of a cheap one room walkup office in San Francisco's seedy Tenderloin District. It's been three years since my 'other than honorable discharge' from the Army Rangers. There was a woman involved. There always is. This one was my lieutenant's too young and too beautiful wife with a penchant for sex and tough enlisted men. She taught me we can't choose who we love. But neither can we choose who we don't. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMy case begins one mid November night, to recover a stolen 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II. It leads me to the local crime boss, a running shootout with a street gang in the projects, and an unsanctioned street race in a stolen muscle car.\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, I'm shot, knifed, beaten, slapped, and sexually confused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI try to be a good boy and do the right thing, but I've got a weakness - bad girls. Women with the taste of whiskey and cigarettes on their breath and easy sex on their minds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45545829957783,"sku":"9798386244903","price":950.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798386244903.webp?v=1768583386","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dark-seductions-book-one-of-gritty-city-9798386244903","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
