A Game of Flesh

Nick Pascal has a talent for loving. In fact, he makes his living at it, servicing one sex-starved woman after another. There was a time when people called him Nick Pasciewisz, but that was a lifetime ago. Now he's just Nick-Nick who knows what they want, knows just when to make his moves, knows how to make them happy. Until one night when a stripper fingers him to a hood named Emil, who works for gangster Salvatore Elfrego. Sal's got a job that needs doing, that calls for the talents of someone like Nick. All he's got to do is spend the night with a woman named Gina Forrest. It sounds so simple. So why is Sal offering him $10,000 for such an easy gig? And why does Emil keep hinting at a connection between the two of them, when they've only just met? And what makes Gina so special that she's worth the ten grand to spend the night with a gigolo like Nick? Black Gat #88
