Description:
'Rossi
isn't dead yet. And from what I hear, the Rossi brothers are pretty tough
monkeys.' Clancy's knuckles whitened on the steering wheel. 'Yeah,' he said.
'They're all tough monkeys. Until they lose those precious ten pints...'
Lieutenant Clancy, a tough cop from New York's 52nd Precinct, has been
handpicked for an assignment. Assistant District Attorney Chalmers needs him to
protect a witness whose testimony is vital. That man is Johnny Rossi, an
infamous gangster involved in every West Coast racket from prostitution to
gambling, who has turned into a whistle-blower. Shacked up in a fleabag hotel,
Rossi should be safe. But when a hood with a shotgun breaks past the police
guard and blasts Rossi into a critical condition, Clancy has just seventy-two
hours to find out why Chalmers can't keep his mouth shut about his so-called
secret case, why Rossi came to New York in the first place, who else knows
where he is and when they are coming to finish the job off.
