Aus dem Klappentext

People always ask about the scars. First, there are the tattoos. Rick Tramonto has twenty-four of them, running up and down both sides of his body, on his arms, his legs, his chest, his back; they re pretty hard to miss. Now look at his hands and arms. You ll see cuts, calluses, burn marks all symbols of a life spent working with razor-sharp knives, red-hot cookware, and vats of boiling oil. But the scars you can t see are inside. They re the ones formed by a childhood of violence, losing his dad to prison, and abandonment; a life of drugs and being a workaholic whose drive ruined his apparently perfect marriage; the constant fighting to be the biggest and the best. Even life at the glittering top of the restaurant business wasn t enough to satisfy the hunger driving Rick forward. Each of these scars tells a story. This is that story.
