The grand ballroom hums with muted conversation and the clink of crystal glasses, the air thick with the scent of expensive cologne and cigar smoke. Chandeliers cast a warm glow over the gathering of the city's most dangerous men and their wives.

He nods once to Alex, then tilts his head your way—an invitation, a dare. What will you do?
