Cold City
By
F. Paul Wilson
Summary
The first of
three Repairman Jack prequels, revealing the past of one of the most popular
characters in contemporary dark fantasy: a self-styled “fix-it” man who is no
stranger to the macabre or the supernatural, hired by victimized people who
have no one else to turn to.
We join Jack a few months after his arrival in New York City. He doesn’t own a gun yet, though he’s already connected with Abe. Soon he’ll meet Julio and the Mikulski brothers. He runs afoul of some Dominicans, winds up at the East Side Marriott the night Meir Kahane is shot, gets on the bad side of some Arabs, starts a hot affair, and disrupts the smuggling of preteen sex slaves. And that’s just Book One.
