Clip Joint — Debra Dunbar

Failure can get a mobster a bullet to the head...or worse.

Fearing he'll be sent for torture and "re-education" at the notorious Ithaca facility, Vincent pulls out all the stops only to have a mysterious fire up in Pennsylvania burn his hopes of redemption to the ground.

Hattie has one more reason to hate the mob. With Vincent sent away, Hattie worries he'll not return the same man he was when he left -- or not return at all. Helping him will take more than a clever illusion. She'll need to learn all she can about the mysterious bond she has with the time pincher to help free him before the monsters at Ithaca can break him body and spirit.
