Reseña del libro "The Triumph Of Passion (en Inglés)"
Adult content. The story opens in a private New York casino with fine dining, a lively showroom, and valet parking for members, operating 10 pm to 5 am, all of it fronted by a covid testing laboratory in the worst section of Lower Manhattan, surrounded by abandoned, crumbling structures built a century ago. Casino showroom patrons are public officials, millionaires, grifters, and glamorous girlfriends in sable and mink. Employees are out of work actors, former cops, illegal aliens, women with a shady past, and tough managers, all of them working for cash during covid lockdown, hired and supervised by a middle aged gunslinger who works long hours seven days a week and calls himself Billy Larko. He's fascinated with a woman he encounters backstage in the showroom, who he thinks is somehow involved in the jazz scene, plays piano and writes music. She's also a high priced hooker, revealed when he takes her on a three-day Christmas holiday to propose marriage at an AirBnB. Thus commences an electrifying and passionate romantic saga. Larko raids his own cash cage at the casino and they flee New York with no destination in mind, except unbreakable union between a hopelessly smitten hard guy and the sexiest woman on earth. It propels them coast to coast in steeply escalating erotic adventures involving others. He compares it to taking a nuclear bomb to a church picnic when they visit his hometown, seducing Larko's childhood sweetheart to join them domestically, the first of numerous complications that will doom Larko to risk everything to defend the wanton and exceptionally talented pianist he loves.
