"Bernard has written a gorgeous, tough, haunting book."-Frank Bidart

"Life sucks, but you can still get a good deal if you're sharp". On this motto hangs the saga of a heroine who makes herself up as she goes along, never looking back. A closely observed and intricate comedy of class relations, here is a novel of suspense and adventure on the stormy seas of New York--a book as smart, dangerous, and winning as the femme fatale at its heart.
