Wait for Me in the Alley

Sold for cash, escaped, then handed back to the don
A weekend visit to a friend's boyfriend in Chicago stretches into a nightmare when the car turns toward a derelict factory. The friend disappears, the boyfriend admits a twenty-thousand-dollar deal, and silver pins bearing a thorned shield and inverted dagger mark the captors as Caleb Richardson's crew. The narrator endures three years inside his New York operation before a desperate breakout — only to be delivered straight back into the don's hands.
