Nicholas Palihnic is a natty, tweed-suited hustler who knows every nook and cranny of New York-and a thousand ways to break a girl's heart.

But when Nicholas is hired by an insurance company to find the recently stolen painting, a murdered art thief points him to a trove of gold buried beneath Manhattan-and suddenly all roads are leading back to Beatrice. As fortune hunters, lovers, and other strangers gather around him, there's one thing Nicholas must remember above all else: in this business, it's better to be crooked than dead....
