    About this ebook

    Would a devout Roman Catholic man on the verge of getting married to the girl of his dreams jump off the roof of a high-rise apartment building, simply because he was having financial problems? Hugo, Gabriele and Ruth investigate the death, in Yonkers NY, on behalf of recently retired NYPD detective and current lawyer, Mike di Saronno, working hand-in-glove with Danny O’Toole, detective with the Yonkers PD.
    Hugo and his team fly to Acapulco to meet Felipe’s extended family, including former gangbanger Gonzalo, Felipe’s cousin who is rolling in dough from ill-gotten gains. The mentally unstable owner of the building, Aristotle Costas has a nervous breakdown, and his gay son, Demetrios, attacks Felipe’s girlfriend sexually in the building elevator. The strongest person in the Costas family is Aristotle’s wife, who is not even Greek genetically.
    A cast of many characters provides thrills and chills from beginning to end. Did he fall or was he pushed?
