About this ebook

It was one of Pete Shay’s stranger cases. He’d set out to find the killer of a small-time hood, and the trail led straight to Fat Vinny, the meanest loanshark in New York. But then Fat Vinny himself hired Shay to continue his investigation in order to prove Vinny’s innocence.
Shay knew that Vinny had never been innocent of anything in his life, but a client was a client, and Shay needed the money. He’d be up to his shoulder-holster in blood and bullets before this case was finished!

Author

Peter McCurtin

Peter J. McCurtin was born in Ireland on 15 October 1929, and immigrated to America when he was in his early twenties. Records also confirm that, in 1958, McCurtin co-edited the short-lived (one issue) New York Review with William Atkins. By the early 1960s, he was co-owner of a bookstore in Ogunquit, Maine, and often spent his summers there.McCurtin's first book, Mafioso (1970) was nominated for the prestigious Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award, and filmed in 1973 as The Boss, with Henry Silva. More books in the same vein quickly followed, including Cosa Nostra (1971), Omerta (1972), The Syndicate (1972) and Escape From Devil's Island (1972). 1970 also saw the publication of his first "Carmody" western, Hangtown.Peter McCurtin died in New York on 27 January 1997. His westerns in particular are distinguished by unusual plots with neatly resolved conclusions, well-drawn secondary characters, regular bursts of action and tight, smooth writing. If you haven't already checked him out, you have quite a treat in store.McCurtin also wrote under the name of Jack Slade and Gene Curry.
