FINDER The scene at Manhattan's lower West Side clubs is rough trade, but no rougher than Atticus Kodiak has to be to keep it under countrol. No promises made, none needed in the raw and raunchy underground, the perfect place for him to avoid the guilty feelings over his best friend's death. Until he sees Erika Wyatt, the teenage daughter of an Army colonel Atticus once guarded. Stalked by a cold-eyed commando fondling a wicked knife, Erika draws Atticus back into the protection business. In a case built on lies, vengeance, and sins of the past, Atticus learns that a promise can be the most dangerous weapon of all. Read an excerpt.
