Abstract

The whispers across Manhattan’s private clubs were unanimous: I was the most shameless parasite on the Eastern Seaboard.

They said I had drained Elliott Mercer dry. That from the rainy October evening he pulled me off the pavement outside a Greenwich Village clinic—shivering, penniless, with nothing to my name—I had systematically hollowed out one of the oldest shipping and venture fortunes in the state.

Whenever he asked me what I wanted, I only ever had one answer: money.
