Description
Book SynopsisMost people believe Jimmy Antonelli is bad to the bone
New York detective and an old friend of the family Bill Smith is one of the few people who has ever been willing to give Jimmy a second chance. Given his own brushes with the law, Bill has an unsurprising sympathy for the youngest Antonelli brother.
But this time Jimmy has gone too far. There's a corpse of a local gangster in the cellar of Antonelli's bar and Jimmy has disappeared...
But finding Jimmy is going to be a whole lot easier than proving his innocence...
