A beautiful, nineteen-year-old woman falls to her death from a cliff outside of Messina, Sicily. It’s ruled an accident, but Lorenzo Patino, who loved the woman passionately, believes she was murdered by a drunken rival. He vows revenge. Both men migrate to the U.S. and lose track of each other. Sixty years later Lorenzo recognizes the man he still hates at a dinner and kills him. The victim’s granddaughter is crushed and hires Hank Tower, a New York PI and ex-spy, to find who killed her grandfather. The victim’s younger brother, a rich and powerful criminal, is also looking for Lorenzo.
Tower’s search takes him into this rich man’s world of drugs, contract killers, arms dealers. He encounters…
…a stunning, blonde beauty who kills her victims in bed…
…a handsome hitman who kills and tortures hideously…
…a cartoonist adored by millions of children who murders on the side…
…an asp-like Chinaman who does whatever his rich Sicilian boss asks…
…an arms-dealer who seeks revenge for the murder of a beloved employee…
…and the mastermind behind it all: Lorenzo’s victim’s rich and vengeful brother.
Tower’s investigation uncovers these illegal money machines and hitmen are sent to silence him. All he has to defend himself are his PI and spy connections, his.38 and his two Associates. Will he survive or be killed before his upcoming wedding? He has less than a week to save himself from his enemies, or be a dead groom.
