Summary

A run-of-the-mill exposé puts reporter Harry Horne on the hot seat!

Harry Horne was a nice guy, a good journalist writing a series on juvenile delinquency - and uncovering more dirt than he bargained for. Especially on Louis Gelormino, the big-wig Mafia rackets boss who usually dropped a hint he was displeased in the form of a .45 bullet. Vince Rinaldi was the grudge-holding head of the juvie gang featured in Harry's exposé. Yet everything seemed fine on the day Harry got out of jail for refusing to name a source. 

But when Harry returned to his apartment, about to get lucky with a nightclub singer he had been pursuing for months - only to have a young woman step out of his shower clad in a towel - things started to go downhill quickly. The nightclub singer departed in a fury, while the young woman dropped the towel, snatched up a gun, and shot Harry point-blank! 

Soon, everyone was on Harry Horne's tail - but "out of the frying pan into the funeral" wasn't an unusual condition for him to be in. 

A hot-tempered, very neglected Mafia wife. Her 18-year-old lover in a black leather jacket with switchblade. Her missing "Made Man" husband who had been playing fast and loose with pay-offs collected for the local Capo de Capos. A dozen juvenile delinquents who were ready to rumble and just as ready to harmonize when record producers dropped by. Two tough-as-nails cops convinced that Harry Horne was guilty of everything. And a young woman with a penchant for shedding her clothes and trying to shoot Harry.

It all adds up to one of journalist/sleuth Harry Horne's craziest cases and roller-coaster entertainment for the listener.

Quite good!

This is a quite good story. The main character is a bit of a lad and after being released from prison lands himself in trouble straight away. An entertaining listen and I enjoyed it but would not want to read any more Harry Horn books. Adrian M. Lopez was a very good narrator and worth listening to again.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by Wordwoose and leave this honest review.
