Vic Del Frate isn’t your average hood. He is violent, crude, greedy—but he sure has a head for numbers! He’s a figurer, a schemer, a manipulator who’s as deadly with his hands as he is playing the stock market of pre-Crash Wall Street…These days, he’s head over two-tone wingtip heels in love with Hedy, the girl-friend of a rich con-man. To get her and make sure he isn’t killed in the process, Vic has to neutralize a few threats to his life and pursuit of happiness—including the mob of his jilted ex-fiancée’s father.Vic infiltrates a major stock market scam, derails the grand opening of a new railroad, and accidentally blows up a train station before his ugly past catches up with him.This first instalment of the Del Frate memoirs is based on audio tapes discovered in a Miami yard sale, catapults the reader straight into the corrupt underbelly of Prohibition-era New York City—a world of brutal gangsters, reptilian frauds, and beautiful, vengeful broads, a lethal warren of Macchiavellian power struggles, Byzantine plots, and epic Fratricide…
