Электронная книга - «Class Act». Краткое содержание книги:
As Stone sets out to unravel a tangled web of crime and secrets, his mission becomes even more complicated when he makes an irresistible new acquaintance. In both the underbelly and upper echelons of New York, everyone has something to hide — and if Stone has learned anything, it’s that history has a way of repeating itself...
“What brings you to see me so soon after our earlier encounter?”
“I have news. Its source, let us say, is from my personal grapevine.”
“Uh-oh,” Stone said. “Now what?”
“When I told you that, with Sal Trafficante dead, you and I had no further worries about assassins, I believed that to be true, at the time, but I had reckoned without Don Antonio Datilla.”
Stone slumped.
“We have nothing to fear from the Don. A short time ago, he and his driver were shot dead in his car on the West Side, near the car wash.”
Stone’s eyes widened. “Who would take on the Don?”
Jack shrugged. “Someone who, with Sal gone, no longer feared him. He was, after all, an old man, not well, and he had no one left he could trust. There was a break in his shield, and someone took advantage of it.”
“Any idea who?”
Jack shrugged again. “I have few acquaintances among his younger associates. No one comes to mind.”
Stone looked sharply at Jack. “No one? Truly?”
“Truly,” Jack said. He polished off his coffee and stood. “Well, with my news imparted, I will be going.”
Stone stood with him and shook his hand. “Where are you off to?”
Jack smiled. “Anywhere I like,” he said.
