Bad Business

It seems like a lucky break: after seven months of a lingering racketeering trial, Vincent Gior-dano, one of the mob defendants, turns state's evidence and decides to testify against his mob cronies.

But the pieces don't fit. The Mafia Zips don't need the setup, the power-hungry assist-ant United States D.A. is lyíng low, and a beauti-ful young defense attorney is perhaps a bit too fond of Tozzi.
And then there's French Fry, the four-hun-dred-pound truck driver who pins Tozzi in an aikido hold he'll never forget; Jimmy McCleery, the FBI's resident Irish heartthrob who has his eyes on Gibbons's wife; and an exotic Orientál rug that keeps turning up in the strangest

Ali in all: it's another case from hell for the FBI renegades who have been called 'the best fictional cop duo around"—and another hilari-ous tour de force for their creator, Anthony Bruno, one of the brightest new voices in crime fiction.
ANTHONY BRUNO is the author of three previous Gibbons and Tozzi novels, Bad Guys, Bad Blood, and Bad Luck. He holds a master's degree in medieval studies, and is a student of aikido. He has worked as an editor at a New York publishing house and as an archi-vist of rare books. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and daughter, where he is working on a new növel. Vissza
