Description
Enzo Corvi signs his father's name before the ink is dry on the inspection order. He has been practising Don Carlo's jagged scrawl since he was fifteen, back when the old man's hands were still steady. The Parkinson's took care of that.
His sister Giulia keeps the ledgers and will not stop telling him the restaurant is bleeding money and the walk-in freezer has been cycling warm for three days. His cousin Matteo comes in without knocking, wearing black leather driving gloves in September, and has been seen having drinks with Sal Gallo's people on Mulberry.
And a city health inspector is due within the hour.
Luca Bianchi introduces himself as Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Slender hand, firm grip, green eyes that do not so much as flicker when Enzo mentions that Don Carlo has been in this neighbourhood forty years and knows the commissioner personally. Luca is not interested in the sanitation checklist. He wants the kitchen's financial logs, including invoices from one supplier the Corvis keep filed apart from everything else, because that supplier is a front for laundering money.
*I scheduled this inspection as my only appointment. I wanted to be thorough.*
That same day Enzo watches him raise a hand to hail a cab, and sees the slight bulge under the left arm of a beautifully tailored jacket. Enzo has worn a wire himself, once.
What Enzo does not know is whose brother Antonio was, or that the only personal object in Luca's rented room is a photograph of two men grinning at Coney Island, or that Luca stood in a morgue and identified that body.
What Luca does not know is which Corvi told his father to bury the case.
Then a message lands on Luca's work phone. *New assignment: eliminate the underboss.* The underboss is Enzo. And in a hospital across the city, Don Carlo has a stroke, and Matteo declares himself acting don and starts running everything.
A closed-door MM mafia romance set across Brooklyn construction offices, a failing family restaurant and a basement with a second way out, about a man who forges his father's handwriting and a man who came to take the family apart.
