About this item
by Harold Goldberg (Author)
Stan Kaminski is a Polish immigrant getting by on odd jobs and inside connections, the kind that keep him close to the city's underbelly but just out of reach of real trouble. When a wealthy businessman offers him a job--finding a missing woman--Stan figures it's easy money. But the deeper he digs, the more it's clear that this isn't just another runaway case.
As Stan navigates his way through the city's darkest secrets to find the troubled Charmaine, every clue pulls him further into a world of high society excess, underground crime, and whispers of a serial killer preying on the lost. As the bodies pile up and the truth unravels, Stan is forced to make a choice: follow the money, save Charmaine, or make it out alive. For fans of gritty noir, true crime, and the raw, electric pulse of 1990s New York, The Skinny is a razor-sharp thriller that won't let go.Author Biography
