章 63: Chapter 63

“You had to know it wasn’t her. She went along with everything he said. For Christ’s sake, she was dying of cancer, and she didn’t divorce him or try for child support or alimony. It wasn’t hard to find him. Carlo did it in four days.”

“I told you, Grandfather, I work at the Sunset Club, an upscale gay bar in Asbury Park. They had a terrific insurance policy for their employees and their dependents. I waited on a list for six months to get a job there. Before I took my leave of absence, I was promoted to manager.”
