The Necklace

Chip Ackerman, eighteen years old, ultra sexy, a former heartbreaker, must leave the girl he loves.
The only girl he's ever loved.

Forced back to the sad, crowded squalor of the Lower East Side, Chip meets up with his old crowd, tries hard to resist temptation, aches for the love he left behind, and grows ever more prone to violence, finally doing something he'll regret forever.

This evocative sequel to "The Fence," set in 1930s New York City, explores the heartbreak and hardship of a young man conflicted between loyalty and love.
