Valentino Pier

It all begins when PI Gulliver Dowd is approached by Ellis Torres, a street kid, on Valentino Pier in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn. Ellis has lost his dog, and after Gulliver helps to find the dog for him, they go their separate ways. So when Ellis is discovered beaten, unconscious and left for dead not far from the pier early the following morning, Gulliver is horrified-and suspicious. He sets out to find the attacker and learn why the boy was targeted.
What Gulliver uncovers by way of bizarre clues-amidst threats of danger to himself and his loved ones-leads him on his most curious case yet. Undeniably, there is something amiss at Valentino Pier.
