Plot summary
Marv comes to on a highway above The Projects, lying among dead young men, and can only piece the night together by retracing it: Nancy Callahan dancing at Kadie's Saloon, then four rich young men setting a homeless man on fire and a fight that left a bullet in his arm. Johnny, a gambler, empties the slot machines at Kadie's and buys into Senator Roark's backroom poker game with the waitress Marcie beside him. Dwight McCarthy, a private detective keeping his violent past and his drinking behind him, hears from Ava Lord, who left him four years earlier for the wealthy Damien Lord. She asks him to meet her at Kadie's, and Manute, her husband's chauffeur, takes her home. Nancy, still in mourning for John Hartigan, wants revenge on Senator Roark.
