"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
When "Dip" (Dippolito) takes a bullet intended for Jimmy, son of gang leader Tony Montello, his fortunes seem on the rise. The only one in the mob with any kind of education, Dip is ordered to tutor Jimmy so he can graduate from high school. Meanwhile a gang war seems probable after Tony's rival is iced. It appears that there is a mole in Tony's gang, and Dip's best friend is one of the suspects. Fed up with the uncertainties and shootings, Dip's fiancee wants him to walk away from the life. More deaths and double crosses follow, but Dip wraps up everything--a bit too quickly and easily. The dialog is what keeps this book moving: tough, accurate, and laced with humor and venom. Readers of the genre will love this latest from the author of The Come On (Soho Pr., 1989).
