Cast of characters so far in first 40 pages (out of almost 500):
- Sweet young devout Catholic girl who has to prostitute herself to pay off a debt.
- Pimp with a heart o' gold who tries to convince her to get out of the business; all his girls enjoy it and want to be there. He even offers to give her money to pay off her debt so she won't work for him anymore.

Firstly I must say that I really liked this book though I do think a lot of the terminology of the BDB intruded and seemed out of place in this setting. I did however like the alluded to references of some of the BDB characters. It was a nice addition without blatantly using the success of that series to promote this one.

Jim is a wonderfully flawed man...Eddie and Adrian are good additions to the team also. Vin and Marie Therese's story was well executed and I hope they make an appearance at some point down the road, but I get the impression that is not how it will work. I look forward to seeing what Jim's next challe ...more
