Gunner (Alton Rhode Mysteries book 5)
“If I stirred things up, maybe someone would do something foolish. Why should I be the only one?
The only flaw in my plan was that I was certainly next on the list to be eliminated. In a way, I had been lucky that Bowles and those behind him had decided to have bad-shot Rizzuto try to ace me instead of sending a real pro upstate. But I doubted they’d make that mistake again. Someone on the order of Vernon Maples or Rahm’s Veronica would get the job. I didn’t need any distractions, let alone ...a bullet through my shoulder blades. That gave me an idea.
*** It was not my first visit to the Norman-style limestone-and-slate Rahm mansion on Todt Hill. With its two-story copper-clad turret right of the front door it was a distinctive and, to my mind, beautiful structure with a hint of Russian dacha to it. My first time in the house I was a combination prisoner and a patient, with my future very much in doubt. Recent appearances have been more relaxing, although no one can really let down their guard when dealing with Marat Rahm, a genial host who killed for the K.G.B.MoreLess
