关于此电子书

DIVDIVAn engrossing crime novel set in New York’s Little Italy from Grand Master of crime fiction Dorothy Salisbury Davis/div
They are a secret society in New York’s Little Italy. The Little Brothers swear to a strict code. While they carry out good works, they believe in using “the Killing Eye” on evildoers. When sixteen-year-old Angelo is put up for membership, he is not sure he wants to join. But the assignment the society demands of him sounds easy—to put “the Eye” on an old shopkeeper named Grossman who is suspected of dealing heroin. Then Grossman is stabbed to death and the police have only one suspect: the Italian boy who spent the week outside his shop, watching and waiting for a stranger to die.DIV
Alongside Angelo’s story, a police investigation unfolds, led by Lieutenant Marks, a cop with a heart and a brain, who is willing to take risks in tracing a series of complicated Mafia connections to catch the true killer./div/div
