At WellingtonтАЩs, itтАЩs OK to break hearts, but never break your reservation
Seven nights a week, the most beautiful people in Manhattan crowd around the bar at a dimly lit restaurant on Second Avenue. Fueled by drugs, liquor, and jealousy, the singles crowd has made WellingtonтАЩs the hottest spot in town. Its gorgeous young patrons can go through several partners just before closing time, and the spectacle of тАЬthe huntтАЭ ensures that the restaurantтАЩs tables are never empty. People donтАЩt come to WellingtonтАЩs for the food, but for a close-up view of romantic blood sport.
David James, owner and operator, runs the show. Around him swirls a hurricane of swingers, players, and tramps, but David stays cool. In this bar, the only rule is to never sleep with someone whoтАЩs got more troubles than you. But the people who crowd around at last call have so many problems, itтАЩs impossible to keep count.

Marc Olden (1933тАУ2003) was the author of forty mystery and suspense novels. Born in Baltimore, he began writing while working in New York as a Broadway publicist. His first book, Angela Davis (1973), was a nonfiction study of the controversial Black Panther. In 1973 he also published Narc, under the name Robert Hawke, beginning a hard-boiled nine-book series about a federal narcotics agent.
A year later, Black Samurai introduced Robert Sand, a martial arts expert who becomes the first non-Japanese student of a samurai master. Based on OldenтАЩs own interest in martial arts, which led him to the advanced ranks of karate and aikido, the novel spawned a successful eight-book series. Olden continued writing for the next three decades, often drawing on his fascination with Japanese culture and history.┬а
