(3) YA When gangster Nate Benedict gets underage chorus girl Kit a job and an apartment, she knows he'll want something in return. That something has to do with Nate's estranged son, now in the service but formerly Kit's sweetheart back home in Providence. Set in 1950 Manhattan with flashbacks to homefront Providence, the novel is expert pastiche with a heroine both glamorous and vulnerable.
