- Summary:
- A blizzard has immobilized New York City and temporarily shut down the Coney Island Museum, where Ruby Murphy earns a living, more or less. Her boyfriend has left--possibly for good--and she is spending a little too much time with an apprentice jockey named Attila Johnson. A great guy, but, as Ruby soon learns, a guy with a price on his head. After Atilla is nearly killed one day while running on the snow-covered beach, Ruby is forced to ponder how to protect someone who won't--or can't--go to the authorities.
