Publisher's Summary

As the Bruschetti brothers' criminal empire has grown, they have relied on a complex web of financial arrangements to keep their business safe.

Now wealthy and aging, they have decided to retire from crime. But when actor Harry Murphy overhears the Bruschettis plotting to kill several associates, he decides he must intervene.

After warning one of the intended victims, Harry is caught up in the drama and enlisted by the British authorities to build a case against the Bruschettis.
