Ryan Rossetti and Jake Thomas were the two Major League- bound rivals on their high school baseball team, heading straight into history as the first two of Canarsie's favorite sons to make it out and make it big. Until Ryan hurt his pitching arm and landed a ten-dollar-an-hour life as a house painter. Lucky Jake made it all the way, and he and his ten million dollar signing bonus are heading back for a publicity-motivated homecoming weekend that has all of Brooklyn waiting to explode in celebration.
But he's got a nasty surprise in store: Ryan is involved in an intense, addictive relationship with Jake's fiancee Christina, who now faces a choice between love in a Brooklyn tene¬ment or a heartless marriage on Easy Street. None of the three have any idea what's about to play out in the streets they once all called home. The brilliant next step in Jason Starr's inevit¬able march toward the bestseller lists, Lights Out is a razor sharp crime novel that combines biting social satire, explosive suspense, and honest, revealing human drama.
