Nature made Ash beautiful; Nurture made him a killer!
VICE CITY: NEW YORK IN THE 80s...
Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer.
A runaway brought up as the adopted heir and sex toy of "Papa" Dino
Golzine, Ash, now at the rebellious age of seventeen, forsakes the
kingdom held out by the devil who raised him. But the hideous secret
that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into
Papa's insatiably ambitious hands--and it's exactly the wrong time for
Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to make Ash
Lynx's acquaintance... Epic in scope, and one of the best-selling shojo
titles of all time in Japan, Akimi Yoshida put an electric shock into
the genre and gained a huge crossover audience through Banana
Fish's stripped-down, non-stop style.
In a desperate attempt to save Eiji, Ash accepts the role of Papa Dino's
right-hand man. He then threatens Max at gunpoint to give him the
magazine story on Banana Fish before it hits the press. Grooming Ash to
become his successor, Dino sets in motion a chain of events that will
truly make him part of the Family.
