Certain Death (2011)
“Inspector Humphries talked to Francesca and Marco, but we didn’t learn anything we didn’t already know: that Irena and Alonzo were planning to move on to a bigger, glitzier circus, leaving Alonzo’s family high and dry.
“Did you resent it?” Inspector Humphries asked.
“Yes, of course. But he’s family, we wouldn’t have done anything,” Francesca replied.
“You know what they say,” agreed Marco, backing her up. “Blood’s thicker than water and all that. I can’t stand her myself, but Alonzo loves Irena.... None of us wants to see her dead.”
Francesca and Marco sounded sincere enough. But Alonzo’s other brothers, Angelo and Italo – the remaining Bouncing Bellinis – weren’t so convincing.
“Irena’s rotten to the core,” one said. “A nasty piece of work.”
“I don’t know why he ever got involved with her.”
“Have you told your brother how you feel?” asked Inspector Humphries.
“Don’t do no good talking to him, does it, Angelo?” complained Italo.MoreLess
