The corruption of Jeffrey Blaine begins on the night of his daughter s eighteenth birthday party.That so many of the city s elite have gathered to pay tribute to this man s teenage daughter is testament to his stature as one of New York s most powerful financiers. Yet Blaine himself is bored， chafing， hungry for a fresh new challenge.While the party is in full swing， an underage woman gets drunk and then is raped by one of Blaine s guests. In the confusion that follows， Blaine agrees not to call the police. His complicity is witnessed by a notorious gossip columnist -- making him vulnerable to a scandal that could destroy him.Enter Chet Fiore， a young man of shadowy provenance who arrives at the party and immediately sets things in order. Where did he come from? Why is he there? Blaine doesn t know. But Fiore s grace under pressure commands Blaine s attention; and what he eventually learns about Fiore -- that he is a rising figure in organized crime -- both terrifies and energizes him. Fiore reappears early the next morning at Blaine s country house and assures him there won t be a scandal. The gossip columnist "has been taken care of." It won t be long before Blaine learns what Fiore wants in exchange for making the problem go away.Jeffrey Blaine s straight-arrow life will never be the same. In one sense， he is being blackmailed; in another， Chet Fiore is exactly what Jeffrey Blaine has been looking for. The tempestuous relationship between these two powerful men will take several unexpected detours in what turns out to be a deadly dance of money and corruption that pits organized crime against the glittering world of high society and Wall Street finance.
