"Ted Molloy has hit his stride with a foreclosure investment scheme that brings him into contact with a cast of shady characters across New York's most diverse borough, from Hollis to Howard Beach. On the side, he helps his activist girlfriend Kenzie with her work to halt construction on 'the Spike'--a corporate-backed development project in Corona that would displace the largely immigrant communities surrounding it. Stop the Spike is heating up: Kenzie spends most of her waking hours fending off smear campaigns and touring community spaces in Queens to spread the word, which she can do thanks to Mohammed, Ted and Kenzie's close friend, a recent Yemeni immigrant and most expedient cab driver. But when Kenzie learns that Mohammed's immigration lawyer may be taking advantage of him financially, she decides to snoop around at the law offices--and comes face to face with a dead body and a shadowy figure fleeing the scene"-- Provided by publisher. 20250102.
