Never Love a Stranger
Never Love a Stranger tells the gritty and passionate tale of Francis Frankie Kane, from his meagre beginnings as an orphan in New York's Hell's Kitchen. From that confused and belittling start, Frank works his way up, choosing the wrong side of the law to make a name for himself. At a young age, he becomes one of the city's most dangerous men, indulging in his passion for power, sex, and the best things in life-whether or not they can be purchased. Never Love a Stranger takes an unflinching look at a New York that's long gone by-exposing life during and after the Great Depression, when the syndicate ruled the city without mercy.

Über den Autor
Born in 1916 in New York City, Harold Robbins was a millionaire by the time he was twenty. He lost his fortune by speculating on the price of sugar before the outbreak of WW2. Later, his fabulously successful career as a novelist, with many of his books turned into films, would once again make him incredibly wealthy. For many years Robbins enjoyed the high life among the rich and famous, owning a huge yacht and houses on the French Riviera and in Beverley Hills. His novels often mirrored his own experiences and were peopled by characters he had met. He died at the age of eighty-one in Palm Springs, survived by his wife, Jann, and his two daughters, Caryn and Adreana. Robert Hale also published his previous novel, Sin City.
